Book Grants 2022
- Published: 02 June 2022
The DE has announced that once-off funding is being made available to primary schools to purchase books, audio books and other media for the purposes of improving their existing literacy-resource banks.
The grant to schools will be paid in line with recognised pupil enrolment on 30 September 2021. The grant paid to primary schools with an enrolment of equal to or less than 60 pupils is based on a minimum enrolment of 60 pupils. The grant rate is €21 per pupil for all recognised primary schools. Schools are not required to apply for this grant funding as the grants are paid directly to schools.
The grant cannot be used for the purchase of textbooks or to supplement the book-grant funding currently provided annually.

Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT)
- Published: 02 June 2022
Additional resources and supports are available to schools through REALT. Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) are hosted by the 16 regional education and training boards around Ireland and staffed by regionally based education support personnel. The primary role of the REALT is to build on existing regional education support structures and the initial focus will be on assisting families in securing school places. REALT will also support schools in the area to meet the needs of these children as they emerge, to advise and support the Department of Education in developing new capacity where required, and to co-ordinate the provision of education services to schools and families across their defined area. These teams will ensure that clear, accessible information flows are in place between schools, local education support services and national support structures in relation to people arriving from Ukraine.
