School Funding
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-24
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I welcome the announcement of the minor works grants being processed and issuing to schools in the coming days. That is welcome as long as it happens. When this announcement was made initially, it was that they would be paid soon, so I welcome that the Minister of State said they will be processed in the coming days. I also welcome what was said on the ICT grants. I have been contacted by a number of principals in recent weeks and indeed at the weekend about this payment, so I am delighted it has now been paid. I look forward to the remaining minor works grants being paid in the coming period.
