Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2019
217. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of the €23,000 funding applied for by a school (details supplied) under the summer works scheme for the installation of toilets; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51732/19]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question has submitted an application under Toilet Facilities under my Department's multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards.
The Deputy may be aware that I recently announced details of the 405 schools that will receive funding in summer 2020 under the summer works programme.
Commensurate with the level of funding set aside for the Scheme, applications are being assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the Scheme. In that regard, applications submitted for other works, including the school in question, will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.
