Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 February 2015
240. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide details of funding for school sports programmes (details supplied) in Dublin 17; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5192/15]
View answerThe works referred to by the Deputy are appropriate to the Summer Works Scheme, the purpose of which is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to facilitate schools carrying out small and medium scale building works that will improve and upgrade existing school buildings.
Under the scheme, responsibility for identifying and prioritising the most urgently required project rests with the school authority. In that regard, while the school referred to did not apply for the works concerned under the 2014 scheme, it will be open to the school, if it so decides, to make an application under a future summer works scheme.
