The Dormant Accounts Fund has made available ‚€18 million for educational disadvantage
as part of its latest disbursement of funds. The scheme is for the enhancement of
existing educational facilities in Ireland which will be given small capital grants.

Eligible schools include schools participating in DEIS, schools located in or serving
RAPID areas and Special Schools. As well as enhancing existing facilities the fund
will support new outdoor play areas, school libraries, dining areas and parent rooms,
each of which has been given a specific allocation of funding.

This round of funding will be devolved to individual school authorities to manage
projects with guidance from the Education Department. The closing date for applications
is 1st March 2007 and the application form can be downloaded from www.education.

With the exception of projects that involve the construction of new facilities in
a school, which must be complete by 30 November 2008, all other projects must be
complete by 30 November 2007.
