113. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties faced by schools, such as a school (details supplied) in Dublin 5, which worked hard to introduce a book rental scheme and as a result are not now entitled to the grant of €150 per pupil attending DEIS schools to set up book schemes; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that their current per capita grant of €21 is not nearly enough to keep their current book rental scheme running and that parents must contribute to help with the scheme; and if he will re-examine this scheme with a view to implementing it fairly so that schools who already set up book schemes are not effectively financially penalised for doing so.
