Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2017
178. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding will be granted to upgrade the toilets at a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25492/17]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that sanitary works are appropriate to the Summer Works Scheme (SWS). The current SWS was announced in late 2015 and is being applied on a multi-annual basis for the years 2016 and 2017. I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has no record of receiving an application from the school referred to under SWS 2016 and 2017. Unfortunately, we are not accepting further applications at this time.
The school may wish to use its minor works grant, which all primary schools received last November, to carry out the works in full or on a phased basis, as that grant permits, if the school considers it to be a priority.
