The school to which the Deputy refers is a recognised national school and attracts funding from my Department in the same way as all other recognised national schools.

All recognised national schools running costs are met by my Departments scheme of capitation and ancillary grants. Schools will receive capitation funding in January and June, and the ancillary services grant in March.

In addition, Gaelscoil Mhainistir Na Corann is a gaelscoil and as such attracts enhanced capitation.

Since 2010 schools also receive funding towards the costs of School Books. School Year Funding Enrolment
