View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 297 to 299, inclusive, together.
The contracting authority for each of these projects is the relevant local authority i.e. Kildare County Council for the Sallins Bypass project, Sligo County Council for the Garavogue Bridge project and South Dublin County Council for the Nangor and Adamstown road upgrades. My Department is providing grant support for the projects and information on Exchequer grant support for 2018 to 2022, the estimated project cost and the status of each project is available on the Capital Tracker on the DPER website.
The Regional and Local Road allocation and payment booklets available in the Oireachtas library also provide details of grant payments and allocations to date for individual schemes and road maintenance programmes.

303. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of whole-time equivalent education welfare officers employed by the education welfare office in the north and south Dublin regions; the location and catchment area that each officer within these regions covers; the child population served in each case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42837/18]
View answerThe Educational Welfare Service of Tusla has advised my Department that it currently employs 12.2 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Educational Welfare Officers (EWOs) in North Dublin and 14.5 FTE EWOs in South Dublin. This averages out as 8,882 students per officer in North Dublin and 8,113 in South Dublin. The EWOs are divided among four teams, each of which is managed by a Senior Educational Welfare Officer (SEWO). Referrals from schools, parents and other agencies are received by EWS and allocated to EWOs by the SEWO. In Quarter 1 2019 there will be 2 additional EWOs for North Dublin and 2 additional EWOs for South Dublin recruited and this will reduce the average student population per EWO in North Dublin to 7,631 and in South Dublin to 7,129.
The most recent school enrolment figures from September 2017 show 225,993 students enrolled in schools in North and South Dublin combined. Referrals are allocated to EWOs by the SEWO on a team basis and areas where most referrals are received are given priority.
Further information regarding location and catchment area is set out in the Appendix.
