I propose to take Questions Nos. 107 and 110 together.
My Department does not fund individual Parent Associations, or the Constituent Bodies of the National Parent Council, Post-Primary, as mentioned in the Deputy's question. My Department funds the NPCPP in their capacity as the umbrella body for these associations. The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the table.

The National Association for Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) is a recognised representative body for Principals and Deputy Principals at post-primary level.
Funding provided by my Department to the NAPD relates to a non-recoupable secondment in respect of the position of Director and funding in respect of the provision by NAPD of supports, training & seminars for principals and deputy principals, including newly appointed principals and deputy principals. The NAPD works in collaboration with the Professional Development Service for Teachers to provide leadership programmes and continuous professional development opportunities.
