I propose to take Questions Nos. 469 and 471 together.

There are six primary gaelscoileanna in County Kildare. In the 2004-05 school year, the last year for which details are available, these schools were paid a total of €432,612.54 towards their day-to-day running costs.

A total of 57 full-time primary teachers were employed in the six schools in question in the 2004-05 school year. The average cost of employing a teacher in a primary school in the 2004-05 school year was €55,000, inclusive of employers PRSI.
