€1 million has been allocated to Kerry schools for minor improvement works.
It’s part of a national total of €29 million in grants for minor schools works, announced today by Education Minister and Kerry Fianna Fáil TD Norma Foley.
Schools can use this funding for maintenance and small-scale improvements to school buildings and grounds.
It may also be used to buy IT-related equipment, PE equipment, furniture, and to improve mechanical and electrical services.
Minister Foley said the €1 million in minor works grants for primary and special schools in Kerry is vital to support the operation of schools.
The funding has been welcomed by Kerry Independent TD, Danny Healy-Rae.
