Parliamentary Question addressed to the Minister for Education and Skills

5th January 2014 - Olivia Mitchell TD

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 95 of 18 December 2013, when the capitation grant and the ancillary services grant are expected to be merged; and if he will make a statement on the matter?

Reply
The consolidation of the grants system for schools will require both administrative and Information Technology (IT) input in the development of a
robust and efficient grant system.
Progress on this initiative will depend on the availability of resources and the priority this project is allocated as against other IT projects being
pursued by my Department. Accordingly, it is not possible to state when the consolidation of the grants system will be completed.
