The school referred to by the Deputy was one of 818 schools that were approved for a total of €3.33 million in grant aid from the Dormant Accounts Fund Small Scale ICT Scheme for DEIS Schools.

The Department wrote to the Chairperson of the Board of Management of the School in November 2007 setting out the terms and conditions of the offer of the grant aid. There terms and conditions include, inter alia; that the grant aid will be paid in one instalment on satisfactory completion of the project and submission to the Department of a completed grant aid claim form. To date, the school has not returned the grant aid claim form.

Once the grant aid claim form has been received and checked that it is in order for payment the grant will be paid to the school within a matter of weeks.
