169. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform when his attention was drawn to the fact that there will be labour shortages for major capital projects in 2019 which will require a review of the public expenditure guidelines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3064/19]
View answerMeasures to address potential capacity constraints in the construction sector have been a priority for a number of years now.
A mid-term review of the 2016-2021 Capital Plan was published by my Department in September 2017. That review noted that the scale of increase in public capital spending will accentuate capacity pressures for that sector. The review highlighted the priority of reinforcing existing initiatives to meet the skills and capacity needs of the sector and support its strategic development in line with medium and long-term requirements of the Irish economy. To that end, initiatives are ongoing in the Department of Education and Skills, and the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation.
Furthermore, in my own Department and as announced in the NDP, a Construction Sector Group has been established to ensure regular and open dialogue between Government and the construction sector. The CSG is made up of each of the key segments of the industry along with officials from relevant Departments and Agencies. One of the main elements of the CSG's remit is the supply of necessary skills and measures enhancing capacity. The group met twice in 2018 and will shortly finalise its work programme for 2019.
The newly established Investment Projects and Programmes Office in DPER will play an important role in strengthening the appraisal and evaluation of investment projects and programmes and to ensure that public capital investment is efficient and value-for-money. This will require the operation of the project appraisal and evaluation arrangements set out in an improved Public Spending Code as recommended by the 2017 IMF Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA). A review of the Public Spending Code is underway to ensure best practice and reflect leading international practice in major project appraisal and planning.
170. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if extra money is being allocated to the Department of Health to cover the extra costs projected for the national children’s hospital in 2019; the areas from which these moneys will come; if moneys will come from the capital envelopes in other Departments; if so, the Departments in relation to same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3065/19]
View answerMy Department is engaging with the Department of Health on the topic of the National Children’s Hospital, and how the increased costs of the project will be managed within the overall agreed NDP capital allocations. To that end, the Government has decided that in relation to the 2019 increased costs, €50 million will have to be found within the 2019 capital allocation for the Department of Health, with the remaining €49 million to be met by reallocation within the overall €1.5 billion (26%) increase on the 2018 REV allocation for all Departments.
The Deputy will appreciate that, even with this adjustment, all sectors will still receive substantial additional resources in 2019 to pursue their priority projects. Public investment this year will reach 3.5% of national income (GNI*) compared to an EU average in recent years of 2.7% (GDP).
My officials are currently engaging with the Department of Health on the funding requirements for the National Children's Hospital over the period to 2022. When that engagement is complete, I expect to revert to Government with proposals in relation to how the increased costs of the project will be met, within the existing agreed annual NDP ceilings.
171. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for closing two schools in County Cavan in favour of opening one larger school creating a longer commute for residents; if public consultation was carried out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2354/19]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the decision making authority for any amalgamation belongs to the Patron/Trustees of the school, and this is subject to the approval of the Department.
Any proposed change involves extensive negotiations at local level and must be well planned and managed in a manner that accommodates the interests of students, parents, teachers, local communities and contributes to an inclusive education system.
My Department has sought further information from the Patron of the schools concerned relating to the proposed amalgamation and this is awaited. The matter can be considered further following receipt of this information.
172. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to meet future demand for second-level education in County Wexford (details supplied) in view of the growing population in the area; his further plans to expand schools; if not, his further plans to construct a new school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2358/19]
View answerIn order to plan for school provision and analyse the relevant demographic data, my Department divides the country into 314 school planning areas and uses a Geographical Information System, using data from a range of sources, to identify where the pressure for school places across the country will arise. With this information, my Department carries out nationwide demographic exercises to determine where additional school accommodation is needed at primary and post-primary level.
Major new residential developments in a school planning area have the potential to alter demand in that area. In that regard, as part of the demographic exercises, my Department engages with each of the local authorities to obtain the up-to-date data on significant new residential development in each area. This is necessary to ensure that schools infrastructure planning is keeping pace with demographic changes as there is a constantly evolving picture with planned new residential development, including additional residential developments arising from the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF).
Where data indicates that additional provision is required, the delivery of such additional provision is dependent on the particular circumstances of each case and may, depending on the circumstances, be provided through either one, or a combination of, the following:
- Utilising existing unused capacity within a school or schools,
- Extending the capacity of a school or schools,
- Provision of a new school or schools.
As the Deputy may be aware, the Government recently announced plans for the establishment of 42 new schools over the next four years (2019 to 2022). This announcement follows nationwide demographic exercises carried out by my Department into the future need for primary and post-primary schools across the country and the 4-year horizon will enable increased lead-in times for planning and delivery of the necessary infrastructure.
In addition to the new schools announced, there will be a need for further school accommodation in other areas in the future. While the announcement did not include a new post primary school for the area referred to by the Deputy, the requirement for new schools will be kept under on-going review and in particular will have regard for the increased rollout of housing provision as outlined in Project Ireland 2040.
It is open to an individual school to apply for accommodation under the additional accommodation scheme if the school does not have sufficient capacity to meet school places.
My Department’s capital programme prioritises building projects for areas where significant additional school places are required. Details of the current status of the 7 major school projects (primary and post-primary) in County Wexford that are included on the capital programme may be viewed on my Department’s website www.education.gov.ie.
With regard to the details supplied by the Deputy, a 1,000 pupil post primary school was established in 2011 in the area referred to by the Deputy and moved into its permanent accommodation in 2014 and the school has capacity to meet demand in the area.
173. Deputy Mary Butler asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the minor works grant 2018 has issued to a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2375/19]
View answerThe Minor Works Grant 2018/2019 was paid to the school referred to by the Deputy on 26th November, 2018.
174. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if students applying for the CAO for 2019 and commencing a course in Northern Ireland or Britain in September 2019, will be eligible to avail of SUSI grants for the duration of their course regardless of the number of years it takes even in the event of a hard Brexit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2400/19]
View answerEligible Irish and EU nationals wishing to enrol on approved courses in the UK for the 2019/20 academic year will be able to avail of SUSI grants.
Eligible UK students who enrol for eligible courses for the current 2019/20 academic year in a third level college recognised for the purposes of free fees and student grant purposes, will be eligible to avail of the Department’s Free Fees and Student Grant schemes. This includes the student contribution fee for Irish and EU citizens which currently stands at €3,000 for the 2018/19 academic year.
This will mean that the student grant and tuition fee arrangements that are currently in place will continue to apply for those students entering higher education in the 2019/2020 academic year for the duration of their course. The position will be reviewed in advance of the 2020/2021 academic year.
Changes to the Student Support Act 2011 are also proposed under the Government’s Brexit Contingency Action Plan; to ensure that eligible students attending colleges in the UK and eligible UK nationals studying here, continue to receive grant support.
It is anticipated that the Student Grant Scheme and Student Support Regulations for the 2019/20 academic year will be published in early April 2019. Students attending college in the academic year 2019/20 will be required to submit their grant application to SUSI (via www.susi.ie ) to have their eligibility for grant assistance assessed.
175. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills the criteria necessary for receipt of the 1916 bursary fund; if these criteria are uniformly applied across higher education institutions; the person or body which decides which students receive funding; if there is oversight regarding these decisions from an authority separate to the higher education institution offering the award; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2483/19]
View answerThe 1916 Bursary Fund supports 600 students over the course of three academic years commencing in 2017/18. These Bursaries differ from existing bursaries in a number of respects, in that they are targeted at non-traditional entry and can support undergraduate study on either a full-time or part-time basis. The Fund provides financial support through bursaries to new entrants to higher education who are identified by regional clusters of HEIs as meeting the eligibility criteria for the Fund.
To be considered for a bursary students must be socio-economically disadvantanged and from one of the target groups identified in the National Access Plan. Target groups include entrants from under-represented socio-economic groups and communities; entrants with disabilities; first time mature entrants; members of the Irish Traveller community; students entering on the basis of a further education award; part-time flexible learners, Lone parents and ethnic minorities
The Guidelines for the 1916 Bursary Fund were drawn up by the Department of Education and Skills in partnership with the HEA to reflect the aim of the Fund to encourage participation and success in higher education by students from sections of society significantly underrepresented in higher education. The emphasis is on encouraging learners from disadvantaged groups and communities that may never previously have considered higher education as a possible option or had any opportunity to participate in higher education.
The 1916 Bursary Fund devolves the responsibility for identifying eligible students to the clusters of HEIs who are best placed to identify the target students. Clusters of HEIs are responsible for selecting the students to be awarded bursaries and are responsible for the implementation of the Bursary fund. As part of the student selection process the HEIs will be required to ensure that successful students meet the eligibility criteria as per the call for proposals, and as set out in section 2.4 of these guidelines. Selection processes should be fully documented, which include an appeals process. HEIs report to the HEA on the operation of the Fund. The Bursary Fund will be subject to a full review an overall evaluation in year 3.
176. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the pupil-teacher ratio that pertained pre-budget 2012, that is, three teachers per 49 pupils will be reinstated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2492/19]
View answerBudget 2012 increased the appointment and retention ratios for small schools, i.e. schools with four classroom teachers or fewer.
Since 2015, measures have been introduced to improve the staffing of these schools which has seen improvements in the appointment and retention thresholds for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th classroom teacher and more favourable enrolment thresholds for one teacher schools situated 8km or more from the nearest school of the same type of patronage and/or language of instruction.
Budget 2017 announced two adjustments in relation to one teacher schools. Where the school is the sole primary school on an island the school will be able to appoint a second teacher. In relation to single teacher schools generally with an enrolment of 15 or more pupils the school can apply to the staffing appeal board for a second post where the single teacher has children across 6 or more class groups.
Small schools have also benefitted from the 1 point improvement to the primary staffing schedule for all schools implemented in 2016 and again in 2018. For the current school year, the staffing schedule at Primary level operates on a general average of 26 pupils to every 1 teacher (26:1) which is historically the lowest ever allocation ratio at primary level.
In addition, the staffing process includes an appeals mechanism for schools to submit a staffing appeal under certain criteria, including a specific appeal measure for small schools, to the Primary Staffing Appeals Board.
Any additional improvement in the pupil teacher ratio would have to be considered as part of the next annual budgetary process, alongside the many other demands from the education sector.
177. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a widow's pension and qualified child increase are included as means in determining their child’s entitlement to the SUSI grant; if maintenance payments are included as means in determining eligibility for the SUSI grant in the case of lone parents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2530/19]
View answerThe Student Grant Scheme, administered by SUSI, provides maintenance grants to students who meet the prescribed conditions of funding, including those relating to nationality, residency, previous academic attainment and means.
Widows’ /Widower’s pension is included as reckonable income for the purposes of the student grant means test.
Widow's/Widower's pension is also a qualifying payment for the special rate of grant where the reckonable income is less than €23,500. Where the pension includes a CDA (child dependent allowance) the CDA element may be deducted from the payment for the purposes of qualifying for the special rate of grant and determining total reckonable income.
Maintenance payments are included as reckonable income for student grant purposes. However, the income limits for grant eligibility are increased relative to the number of students in a family applying for a grant.
If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a student grant on the grounds of his/her initial classification as an independent or dependent student, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to SUSI. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down in writing by SUSI and remains of the view that the scheme has not been interpreted correctly in his/her case, an appeal, outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grants Appeals Board at www.studentgrantappeals.ie within the required timeframe.
178. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to increase the number of secondary school places in the Wexford town area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2603/19]

It is open to an individual school to apply for accommodation under the additional accommodation scheme if the school does not have sufficient capacity to meet school places.
As the Deputy maybe aware, Loreto College, Wexford which formed part of the Schools Bundle 5 PPP project, was completed in August 2018 and provides for 900 post-primary places. My Department also recently approved a grant to a post-primary school in Wexford town to provide an additional mainstream classroom and science lab and this project has been devolved to the school for delivery.
My Department’s capital programme prioritises building projects for areas where significant additional school places are required. Details of the current status of the 7 major school projects (primary and post-primary) in County Wexford that are included on the capital programme may be viewed on my Department’s website www.education.gov.ie .

180. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will publish the airline costs for his Department for 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2690/19]
View answerThe Department of Education and Skills airline costs for 2018 was €97,116.67. The Department of Education and Skills utilises the travel agent contracted through the Office of Government Procurement to procure flights and keep airline costs to the Department to a minimum.
181. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will publish the cost of newspapers in his Department in 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2707/19]
View answerFor the Deputy's information, as extracted from the Department's Financial System (FMS), payments made from the Department’s administration expenditure indicate that the total expenditure for the purchase of newspapers and subscriptions to online newspaper content was €10,315.24 in 2018.
182. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the decision not to open a junior unit at a school (details supplied) that would allow students in the early intervention unit transition further into their primary education will be reversed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2772/19]
View answerASD Early intervention classes are available for children aged 3-5 with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Early intervention classes are intended to provide early support for children with ASD before they start school.
Following early intervention most children will attend a mainstream class, but will some require the environment of a special class.
Special classes enable students with more complex special educational needs who are unable to access the curriculum in a mainstream class, even with support, for most or all of their school day.
In order to access a special class a student must have a professional report stating:
- S/he has ASD
- S/he has complex or severe learning needs that require the support of a special class setting and the reasons why this is the case
The National Council for Special Education (NCSE), through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), in consultation with the HSE and relevant education partners, is responsible for the establishment of special classes in various geographical areas where there is an identified need.
Since 2011, the NCSE has increased the number of special classes from 548 in 2011 to 1,459 across the country now, of which 1,196 are Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) special classes.
There are 246 special classes attached to mainstream schools in Cork City and County. Of these, 28 are ASD early intervention classes, 120 are primary ASD classes and 53 are post primary ASD classes. The number of ASD special classes in Cork has increased from 50 in 2011/2012 to 201 in 2018/2019. Details of all special classes for children with special educational needs are available by county on the NCSE website www.ncse.ie
The local SENO, in looking to open special classes, must take into account the present and future potential need for such classes, taking particular account of the educational needs of the children concerned. The local SENO will also take account of location and sustainability in looking to establish special classes in certain areas.
In addition, the local SENO will consider:
- the school’s accommodation and accessibility
- the number of special classes, if any, already in the school.
The decision to sanction a special class in a specific school is a matter for the NCSE local SENO. My Department has no role in making such determinations.
The NCSE has informed my Department that the local SENO is satisfied that there are currently sufficient special class placements available to meet identified need for the forthcoming school year in the area referred to by the Deputy.
Should the NCSE identify the requirement for additional ASD special class placements in the area the local SENO will consider all schools in the area in relation to establishing an ASD special class.
183. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his officials will engage with officials from the Department of Defence in relation to a site for a new school for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1811/19]
View answer184. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Education and Skills his views on the announcement of a new school build for a school (details supplied); the support his Department can provide in the next stage to identify a suitable site; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1812/19]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 183 and 184 together.
My Department recently decided in order to meet future capacity needs across the area, that the school to which the Deputy refers should be replaced and expanded with a new 1,000 pupil school building. A new site will be required for the school and the Department will be liaising with KWETB with a view to the process for identifying a suitable site. The standard identification process includes identifying suitable sites already in public ownership. I can assure the Deputy that my Department will make every effort to progress the matter
