Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 June 2016
123. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide an improved play area for a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17404/16]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an application from the school to which he refers under Summer Works Scheme (2016-2017), Category 10, for the works in question.
Valid SWS (2016-2017) applications from schools in respect of Categories 3 to 10 that were not reached under round one approvals announced on 28th April last, will, subject to the overall availability of funding, qualify to be assessed under future rounds of the Scheme. If this arises, the terms and conditions of the scheme as outlined in Circular Letter (0055/2015), which may be accessed on my Department's website, will continue to apply when allocating funding to such projects. The SWS (2016-2017) application from the school, referred to by the Deputy, is available to be considered in this context.
