Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 174, 192 and 205 together.

I am pleased to advise that I announced the Minor Works Grant 2017/2018 for primary schools across the country this morning and payment will issue next week.

The funding will allow minor works to be carried out on the physical infrastructure of schools or on the purchase of items of furniture and equipment.
