Written answers

Responsibility for the payment of insurance rests with Boards of Management and the Education and Training Boards, ETBs, in respect of schools operated by them.

Funding is provided by my Department in respect of general running costs including insurance. If a particular school has a query in relation to the cost of insurance, it should raise this directly with its insurance provider.
