Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2011
61 Deputy Dara Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a school (details supplied) in County Cork will be approved for window replacement and fire emergency exits under an application for capital grant aid under the summer works scheme 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6931/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for the works as outlined under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme. Unfortunately, due to the scale of demand for funding under the scheme, it was not possible to grant aid all applications. As outlined in the Circular governing the operation of the scheme, applications for works in the higher categories of eligible works were prioritised and it was not possible to include the school referred to by the Deputy in the list of 453 successful schools that was announced on 30 March 2011. A letter to this effect will be issuing to the school shortly.
