Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2016
205. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an application by a primary school (details supplied) to develop a play area for the children in its new ASD unit; his views on the importance of this matter for the children concerned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19504/16]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to create a play area.
As the scope of works is outside the terms of this scheme, the application was refused. The mechanism for applying for funding for works of this nature is the Summer Works Scheme and the school may, accordingly, apply under a subsequent Summer Works Scheme for them.
