Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 May 2015
891. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will review the decision to refuse funding for a playground surface upgrade, with particular reference to observing health and safety standards and ensuring a safe environment for students at a school (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20551/15]
View answerThe management authorities of the school referred to by the Deputy recently submitted an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to resurface the school playground.
As the scope of works for which funding is sought is outside the terms of the scheme, they cannot be considered for funding. It is open to the school authority to apply for funding under a future Summer Works Scheme.
