Written Answers. - National Schools Services.

[1498] 92. Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Education if any schools in County Meath will benefit from the £500,000 sanctioned for the 1992-1993 academic year for extra caretaking and clerical services in selected schools.

Minister for Education (Mr. S. Brennan): Under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress, it is proposed to introduce a phased programme, commencing later this year to expand the provision of caretaking and clerical services to national schools with 100 pupils upwards and to post-primary schools with 200 pupils upwards.

I am not in a position to say at this point what schools in County Meath may benefit under this programme.
