All primary schools receive an annual minor works grant from my Department. Each school gets a standard rate of €3,809 together with a per pupil rate of €12.70.

It is open to the school management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy to use this devolved grant for the purchase of physical education equipment provided it is not required for more urgent works.
