Eamon Gilmore
Ceist:63 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education if he will give details of the funding allocated to the free books scheme at primary and at post-primary levels over the past five years; if he will give the present level per pupil figure; if he will give an assurance that proposals to link this scheme with the social welfare clothing and footwear scheme will not result in any diminution of funding for the books scheme in the future.
