Departmental Funding
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-29
============================================================

Sorca Clarke (SF), Longford-Westmeath

I am told there was a significant change in the financial support services unit, FSSU, produced grant schedule for the 2022-23 academic year, which led to confusion among primary schools because it changed so frequently throughout the year. We all accept and understand that primary schools, like every other sector, are feeling the effects of the current cost-of-living crisis. They need to be able to plan and budget effectively. This uncertainty regarding the timing and payment of key grants has caused unnecessary financial issues for schools. Will the Minister please confirm the payment dates for the minor works grants, the ancillary grants and the ICT grants?
