Coxtown School projector grant
The Department refused the 1977 projector grant because the school did not submit a properly receipted voucher on time; it has no record of a current-year application, though it paid a grant for a cassette-recorder.
asked the Minister for Education if he is aware that Coxtown national school, Carrigans, County Donegal, has been refused a grant by his Department for the purchase of a projector; and if he will now authorise the payment of the grant.
Comment on this
The Chairman of the Board of Management of Coxtown National School applied in April 1977 for a grant towards the cost of purchase of a projector but did not furnish on time a properly receipted voucher of expenditure which would show that the equipment was purchased in accordance with the conditions of that year's scheme and accordingly it was not possible to sanction a grant.
My Department have no record of an application for a grant towards the cost of a projector by this school in the current financial year. A grant has, however, been paid in respect of a cassette-recorder.
