My Department provides ancillary grant assistance towards the cost of secretarial and caretaking services to all recognised Primary schools, approximately 43 of which are in Co Carlow

Within the grant programme, the level and extent of services provided is a matter for the school authorities who, through the discretion afforded by the scheme, apply their own arrangements for secretarial and caretaking services as resources permit.
