Question:

216. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an appeal by a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10779/20]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm that the school in question submitted an application for capital funding under my Department's multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards for Fabric Defects (Category 9). 

In late 2019, I announced details of the schools that will receive funding in Summer 2020 in respect of applications submitted for "Life Safety Systems projects" (Category 1).

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 this regard, applications submitted for other works/categories will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.
