607 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the discrepancies between the ability of primary school communities in middle income areas and disadvantaged areas to raise funds voluntarily in order to ensure that the basic running costs of schools are met; if, regardless of the socio-economic profiles of primary schools, the Government has failed to provide adequate funding through the capitation grant for primary schools here and that the recent failure to increase the capitation grant in budget 2009 from €178 to €356 per pupil is further evidence of this; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
