Question 282: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the non-payment of a minor works grant to a school (details supplied) in 2004 and 2005 in view of the fact that similar categories of schools received such grants in the past; and if the outstanding applications from the school will be approved.

The school to which the Deputy refers has temporary recognition. Schools with this status are not entitled to capital funding, including minor works grant aid which is paid from my Department's overall capital allocation. I confirm that a payment was previously made to the school in question under the minor works grant scheme. Unfortunately, however, given the status of the school, this was made in error. My Department took steps to rectify the position when the error came to light.
