Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
809. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update regarding a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary in respect of its application under the summer works scheme for the provision of a hard-court area at the rear of the school. [11885/15]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that spending of more than €70 million was approved for the 2014 Summer Works Scheme to allow over 770 schools undertake improvement works.
This allowed for the funding of applications received under categories 1-6. Schools which had applied under categories 7-10 as is the case in respect of the school to which the Deputy refers, were advised that their applications would be retained for prioritisation if funding for further summer works projects could be secured for 2015. I am currently considering the feasibility of making further funding available to facilitate consideration of those applications.
