On page 86 of the programme for Government, in the section dealing with education, a commitment is given to provide annual increases in primary and secondary capitation grants. On page 90 a commitment is given to set out capitation rates to schools on a rolling three-year basis, allowing for forward planning. To date, there has been no increase in capitation grants for either primary or secondary schools. When will the Taoiseach honour the commitment made in the programme for Government more than two and a half years ago?
