LOCAL Fianna Fáil TD Niall Collins has welcomed the launch of a scheme that will provide free schoolbooks and resources for over 550,000 children across the country.
The scheme was launched this past week by the Minister for Education Norma Foley.
3,230 primary schools and special schools around the country will benefit from the scheme, now entering its second year.
“Preparation for the school year can be a busy time and it can put a lot of financial burden on parents and guardians. It’s important for them to know that the support is there for them from a government level,” Deputy Collins said.
“By providing free schoolbooks, workbooks and copy books, we will ease some of the financial burden facing families.”
