Pre-opening capitation funding of €25,000 is provided for each new post-primary school in recognition of the fact that costs are incurred in the period prior to the opening of a new school. This funding is made available to the Patron to hold on behalf of the newly recognised school. In addition to this a Start-up grant of €20,000 is payable directly to the school.

The interim and permanent accommodation costs of new primary and post-primary schools are met by the Department. My Department also provides furniture & equipment and ICT grants to the schools.
