Written Answers. - Capitation Grants.
Gaelscoileanna enjoy the same entitlement as all other primary schools to my Department's grants. However, practical support for gaelscoileanna is demonstrated through the payment of increased capitation grants for pupils in these schools. In the current school year 2002-03 the standard rate of capitation grant paid by my Department to primary schools was €111.58 per pupil. In the case of gaelscoileanna the capitation grant paid was €137.50 per pupil.
