Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2020
183. Deputy Michael Collins asked the Minister for Education if a grant or scheme is available to schools to help with the purchase of yard equipment, for example, playground equipment; if funding is available under the CLÁR programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27960/20]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the mechanism for applying for playground equipment is my Department's Summer Works Scheme. The school should apply for this when the scheme next opens for applications. In the meantime, I can advise the Deputy that the Minor Works Grant can be used to provide the equipment in question.
In regards to the CLÁR Programme, I can inform the Deputy that this is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
