Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2022
611. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Education the schemes that exist for schools to apply for funding for more substantial structural work than would normally be covered by summer and emergency works schemes, for example replacement of roof, walls or the construction of new buildings. [34085/22]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the Summer Works Scheme does provide for a variety of categories of works including substantial structural works such as the replacement of roofs.
The Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme is the main mechanism for provision of additional capacity in schools. Decisions on applications received from schools are based on demographics or special needs accommodation requirements that are not already met in the school or local area.
