Mary Upton

Question:

177 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will review the deplorable state of toilets at schools (details supplied) in Dublin 10; and the funding which is available to the schools for refurbishment. [8407/05]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The scope of works referred to by the Deputy is appropriate for consideration under the summer works scheme, SWS. While a joint application was received from the schools in question under the SWS for 2005, it did not refer to a toilet upgrade. The schools applied for replacement windows and this application was successful. If toilet works are necessary, it will be open to the management authorities to apply for this under the SWS for 2006, details of which will be announced later this year.
