advised that the prize fund will be

ACHT NA gCARTHANAS (TUAISCEART ÉIREANN) 1964
DUAISCHISTE CUIMHNEACHÁIN BURKE
DE BHRÍ GUR
1. Bunaíodh Duaischiste Cuimhneacháin Burke sa bhliain 1883 i gcuimhne ar
Thomas Henry Burke (1829-1882), Fo-Rúnaí Fhear Ionaid an Rí.
2. Dílsíodh sócmhainní Dhuaischiste Burke, arna gcionnroinnt chuig Tuaisceart
Éireann, (“an Ciste”) san Aireacht Oideachais (an Roinn Oideachais a thugtar
uirthi anois) de bharr alt 1(4) d’Acht na bhForálacha Riaracháin (Tuaisceart
Éireann) 1925.
3. Bronnadh Duais Chuimhneacháin Burke (“an Duais”) suas go dtí 1994,
chuaigh sí i léig don tréimhse 1995 go dtí 2004, athsheoladh í sa bhliain 2005
agus bronnadh den uair dheireanach í sa bhliain 2007.
4. Bronnadh an Duais den chéad uair faoi rialacha arna leagan amach ag
Coimisnéirí an Oideachais Idirmheánaigh agus níos moille bronnadh í ar an
iarrthóir a bhí ar “an freagróir ab fhearr” dar leis an Roinn Oideachais i
scrúduithe Theastas Ginearálta an Mheánoideachais (“TGMO”) a rinneadh i
dTuaisceart Éireann.
5. Tá 200 scair sa Chiste agus iad sa Lárchiste Infheistíochta do Charthanais, le

fabhraithe de £2,068.99 mar atá ar an 31 Nollaig 2013.
6. De bhun iarratais chuig an Roinn ar an 3 Bealtaine 2012, molann an Roinn an
Ciste a thabhairt chun críche, mar gheall ar a laghad atá an t-ioncam ón Chiste,
agus de bharr gur stad duaiseanna de bheith ina bhfeidhm oiriúnach agus
éifeachtach den Chiste agus gur chóir roinnt duaiseanna deireanacha in ábhair
áirithe a bhronnadh maidir le bliain acadúil amháin agus thar ceann na
Comhairle Curaclaim, Scrúdúcháin agus Measúnachta (CCEA).
ANOIS DÁ BHRÍ SIN
Déanann an Roinn Forbartha Sóisialta, i ndiaidh fiosrú cuí faoi ailt 13 agus
22(1)(e)(iii) agus (3) d’Acht na gCarthanas (Tuaisceart Éireann) 1964
AN SCÉIM SEO A LEANAS LEIS SEO
Tabharfar an Ciste chun críche agus bainfear úsáid as an chaipiteal le duaiseanna
deireanacha a chur ar fáil, faoi Dhuais Burke Theastas Ginearálta an Mheánoideachais
2014, agus déanfaidh CCEA iad a bhronnadh mar seo a leanas:
i.
beidh an Duais bunaithe ar na scóir is fearr a úsáideann CCEA le grád a
bhronnadh sna hábhair seo a leanas i Samhradh 2014: Béarla, Matamaitic agus

Matamaitice, agus
na hiarrthóirí a bhainfidh an 1ú agus an 2ú háit amach in TGMO Gaeilge;
iii.
lena chinntiú nach rachaidh luach gach duaise thar £350, féadfaidh CCEA an
Duais a shíneadh go dtí an chéad rangú eile nó do dtí an chéad dá rangú eile i

CHARITIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1964
THE BURKE MEMORIAL PRIZE FUND
WHEREAS
1.
The Burke Memorial Prize Fund was established in 1883 in memory of
Thomas Henry Burke (1829-1882), Under-Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland.
2.
The assets of the Burke Memorial Prize Fund apportioned to Northern Ireland
(“the Fund”) were vested in the Ministry (now the Department) of Education by
section 1(4) of the Administrative Provisions Act (Northern Ireland) 1925.
3.
The Burke Memorial Prize (“the Prize”) was awarded up to 1994, lapsed for
the period 1995 to 2004, was re-launched in 2005 and was last awarded in 2007.
4.
The Prize was initially awarded annually under rules set by the Commissioners
of Intermediate Education and later awarded to the candidate who the Department of
Education considered was “the best answerer” in General Certificate of Secondary
Education (“GCSE”) examinations taken in Northern Ireland.
5.
The Fund consists of 200 shares in the Central Investment Fund for Charities,
with a capital value of £2,234.80 as at 31 April 2014 and also accrued income of
£2,068.99 as at 31 December 2013.
6.
Pursuant to an application to the Department on 3 May 2012, the Department
of Education proposes that, due to the small income from the Fund, prizes have
ceased to provide a suitable and effective application of the Fund and that the Fund be
wound up and a number of final prizes in certain subjects be awarded in respect of a
single academic year and on its behalf by the Council for the Curriculum,
Examinations and Assessment (“CCEA”).
NOW THEREFORE
The Department for Social Development, after due inquiry under sections 13 and
22(1)(e)(iii) and (3) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964
HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING SCHEME
The Fund shall be wound up and the capital and any accrued income shall be applied
to provide final prizes, under the Burke General Certificate of Secondary Education
Prize 2014, to be awarded by the CCEA as follows:
i.
the Prize will be based on the best scores contributing to the Summer 2014
award of grade in CCEA GCSE English Language, Mathematics and Gaeilge
examination results;
ii.
the Prize will be divided equally between:
the candidates achieving 1st to 3rd place rankings in GCSE English Language,
the candidates achieving 1st to 3rd place rankings in GCSE Mathematics, and
the candidates achieving 1st and 2nd place rankings in GCSE Gaeilge;
iii.
to ensure that the value of each prize does not exceed £350, the CCEA may
extend the Prize to the next ranking or next two rankings in each subject.
