Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 6 September 2019
467. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a summer works scheme application will be approved in respect of a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36536/19]
View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy has submitted an application for external environment projects (Category 10) under my Department’s multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards.
I wish to advise the Deputy that commensurate with the level of funding available for the SWS in 2020 onwards, applications will be assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the governing Circular Letter for the Scheme. This Circular Letter (0027/2019) is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
