Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 April 2017
135. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application by a school (details supplied); if his attention has been drawn to the deteriorating state of the roof; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17281/17]
View answerI can confirm that my Department is in receipt of a Category 6 application, roof works project, under the Summer Works Scheme (2016 - 2017) from the school to which he refers.
I wish to advise the Deputy that the current Summer Works Scheme (SWS) is being applied on a multi-annual basis for the years 2016 and 2017.
Details of successful school applicants in respect of Categories 1 and 2 were announced last April and are published on my Department's website www.education.ie. Assessment of valid projects in further categories is now being undertaken by my Department, subject to the overall availability of funding, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the scheme as outlined in Circular Letter (0055/2015), which may be accessed on my Department's website. The application from the school in question is available to be considered in this context. I expect to be in a position to announce a further round of the SWS in due course.
