While the Department encourages the use of School Buildings outside of school hours by local community and other groups, by nature, these groups are generally private and any arrangements between such groups and a school are a matter between the Trustees and the Board of Management. Such after school activities do not normally attract grants from the Department but the specifics in the case raised by the Deputy will be checked and the details will be sent to the Deputy when available.
