Vol. 249 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Free School Books.

32.

asked the Minister for Education how much money was allocated for free books in primary schools in 1967-68, 1968-69 and 1969-70.

The State expenditure on free books for necessitous pupils in national schools in the last three financial years was as follows:—

1967/68

£20,816

1968/69

£69,291

1969/70

£64,769

Would the Minister expedite payment of those grants to the principal teachers concerned because there are complaints coming in about them?

I will look into that. I have not got any complaints but I will look at it.
