901. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the funding available to assist national schools with field trips and excursions; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41552/14]

The Department provides capitation funding to all recognised national schools.

There is no specific funding provided for field trips or excursions.

I have no scope to introduce new or additional funding measures to assist primary schools, such as those referred to by the Deputy.
