Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 January 2016
170. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she received and if she will look favourably upon an application from a school (details supplied) in County Mayo under the summer works scheme given the health and safety grounds; when she will make a decision; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3361/16]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has no record of receiving an application from the school to which he refers under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2016 and 2017. While the school did not apply for any works under the recent SWS, it will be open to the school, if it so decides, to make an application under a future scheme. The Circular Letter (0055/2015) relating to the terms and conditions of the scheme, is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
