Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2020
168. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills if issues related to Covid-19 have resulted in delays to works to be carried out under the summer works scheme; if so, the schools impacted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11983/20]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that projects for which funding is provided under my Department's Summer Works Scheme are devolved to school authorities for delivery. It is a matter for the schools to progress these projects in that context.
However, I can inform the Deputy that the Department is aware that some projects funded under my Department's Summer Works Scheme have been impacted by issues related to Covid-19. Some of these issues have led to delays in projects being progressed.
