It is the policy of the Department of Education and Skills not to endorse or promote any particular products, programmes, ventures, publications, professional consultants or companies. I am sure that you will appreciate the reasons for this decision.

It is the responsibility of each individual school to select the resources that it will use to support its implementation of the curriculum. A list of schools is available on our website www.education.ie.

An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) which was established under the provisions of Article 31 of the Education Act of 1998 operates an established structure to cater for the educational needs of Gaeltacht schools and of Gaelscoileanna. The provision of teaching and learning resources is one of its main areas of work and a resource development funding scheme is advertised in spring each year.
