Written answers

In late 2019, details of the schools that are eligible to receive funding for the 2020 Summer Works Scheme in respect of applications submitted for "Life Safety Systems projects" (Category 1) were announced.

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 (including the project referred to by the Deputy) will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.

It is open to the school to apply for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme if the works referred to by the Deputy, if not carried out, would result in the closure of the school or part thereof.
