It is not envisaged that a Minor Works Grant to primary schools will be issued in 2012 for the school year 2012/2013. The grant for the school year 2011/2012 was issued last November at a cost of €28m.

The focus of my Department's capital allocation for the school sector in 2012 is on major school projects and smaller projects devolved to schools to meet demographic demands.
