I propose to take Questions Nos. 181 and 182 together.

In 2004, 2,360 schools around the country participated in the school milk scheme. The following table lists the school on a county basis.

The 18 schools in County Laois that participated in the scheme in 2004 are listed below.

Glanbia provides almost two thirds of all milk utilised in the school milk scheme in Ireland and is the sole provider of milk to schools in County Laois. My Department does not hold information on the amounts paid in respect of individual schools.
