My Department provides capitation funding to all recognised primary schools for general running costs and funding provided for caretaking and secretarial services.
Circular 40/2009 states that this funding may be regarded as a common grant from which the Board of Management can allocate according to its own priorities.
Decisions on the need or cost of security for schools is a matter for each individual Board of Management.
