I propose to take Questions Nos. 515 to 518, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding to schools to support the operation of school book rental schemes.
The most recent figures available indicate that 95% of primary schools and 68% of post-primary schools operate a book rental scheme. The attached document gives the breakdown of the number of primary and post-primary schools per county that provide a School Book Rental Scheme based on the most recent figures available.
