Flúirse School Survey Report -

School Infrastructure Grant - Worth over €5,500
The Minister for Education and Science has reviewed the devolved grant scheme for minor works to national school properties which first came into operation in 1997. Under the revised scheme, funding will be made available to all primary schools with full recognition on the following basis:
a) €5,500 basic grant plus €18.50 per mainstream pupil and €74 per special needs pupil on the rolls on the 30th September of the year prior to the issue of the grant. (The €74 rate applies to a special needs pupil attending a special school or attending a special class attached to a mainstream school);
b) The grant will be paid on an annual basis thereafter.
The funds being transferred to the schools must be spent on the physical infrastructure of the school or on items of furniture and equipment for educational use including IT related equipment.
