Minister for Education and Skills

I am pleased to advise that on 5 December, 2017 I announced the Minor Works Grant 2017/2018 for primary schools across the country and payment will issue this 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.
