More than €400.7 million of additional Covid-19 Capitation grant funding has been made available to recognised primary and post primary schools to provide for the implementation of infection prevention and control measures to reduce the risk of the spread of Covid-19 to date.

As the Deputy is aware, the continued payment of Covid-19 capitation grants is determined by the prevailing public health advice at the time.

Details in relation to the payment of grants for Term 3 will be provided as soon as soon as possible.
