449. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will approve an application for a summer works scheme given the urgent need to provide additional facilities at the school (details supplied) in County Cavan in 2015-16; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3116/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to confirm to the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an application from the school in question under the Summer Works Scheme. Commensurate with the level of funding available for the Scheme, applications including that from the school concerned, will be assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the governing Circular Letter for the Scheme. This Circular Letter (0055/2015), is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
It is my intention to publish a list of successful applicants at the end of February/early March 2016.
