I do not have a figure on the number of schools but I can get back to the Deputy with that information. No school was asked to repay any moneys it was given during Covid unless it had not spent them, if I am making myself clear. No school had to repay any funding it got unless it was surplus to their spend. If schools have money left over, that goes back to the Department but if they spent every penny of it, they are not required to make any repayment to the Department. I can come back to the Deputy with the figure.

On the minor works scheme, the funding was paid to the schools in April of this year.
