My Department disseminated approximately €7m in grants to 450 post primary schools for the purchase of computers for use in Design and Communication Graphics (DCG). My Department has also made arrangements for the purchase and provision of CAD Software for Schools.
There is a process in place for schools who which to appeal their allocation received under the scheme. Appeals must be received by 30th September 2015 in writing to the ICT Policy Unit of my Department. An appeal has been received from St Muredach's Diocesan College and this will be considered along with other appeals after the closing date. Decisions will then be communicated to all schools concerned.
