Grants for repairs to small schools
Faulkner asked whether small schools could receive grants for essential repairs already carried out. The Minister outlined the usual limits on grants for small-school building or improvement work, and the Chair said the broader issue required a separate question.
In his reply the Minister said that grants will not be available for the painting and decorating of small schools. Does that mean that where two-teacher schools have already carried out essential repairs there will be no grant for them?

Grants are not usually available for the building or replacement of one- and two-teacher schools or for works of improvement or reconstruction.

Am I to take it that the money that has already been spent on small schools will not attract a grant from the Minister's Department?
