Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2014
243. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills if it is her intention to have a minor works scheme available to all primary schools in 2015; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38960/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraCircular Letter 0062/2013 which was published as the Minor Works Grant for the school year 2013/2014 issued last November states "the grant will only be paid in future years as funding permits". The focus under the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Programme 2012-2016 is on meeting the demand for additional school places. Consequently, there is no funding provided at this time in the 2014 capital allocation for the payment of a Minor Works Grant in respect of the 2014/2015 school year.
