Question:

66. Deputy Tom Barry asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide funding as a matter of urgency for the construction of showers at a school (details supplied) in County Cork. [48453/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I refer the Deputy to my announcement last Thursday, 7 November, to the re-introduction of the Summer Works Scheme for 2014. Funding from the Scheme will allow eligible schools to carry out small and medium scale building works that will improve and upgrade existing school buildings. It is open therefore to the school, referred to by the Deputy, to make an application if it so wishes under the scheme for the works referred to.
