Funding for primary schools is dealt with on a per capita basis. The two main grants are the capitation grant to cater for day to day running costs such as heating, lighting, cleaning, insurance, general up-keep etc and the ancillary services grant to cater for the cost of employing ancillary services staff.

Unfortunately, there is no specific grant allocation available to my Department from which funding can be made available for the purpose referred to by the Deputy.
