I would like to inform the Deputy that the school in question has applied for an External Environments Project under Category 10 of the Summer Works Scheme, this Category has not yet been reached for assessment.
The Summer Works Scheme which launched in 2019 is a multi-annual scheme whereby all applications made in June 2019 are held in the system for consideration under future rounds of the scheme. To date Category 1 Life Safety Systems (Primary and Post Primary Schools), Category 2 Roofs (Primary Schools only) and Category 6 Toilet Facilities (Primary and Post Primary Schools) have been assessed.
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 works will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.
If the school authority considers that these works now fall under the scope of the Emergency Work Scheme they may submit an application via Esinet.
