Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2017
179. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a decision will be made on an application for funding to insulate the section of a school building (details supplied) under the summer works scheme. [6751/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has submitted an application to my Department under the Summer Works Scheme (Category 9 - Structural Improvements).
Nearly 50% of schools have applied for inclusion under the scheme which reflects a very high demand. Details of successful school applicants in respect of Categories 1 and 2 were announced in April last and are published on my Department’s website www.education.i.e.
Assessment of valid projects in further categories is now being undertaken by my Department, subject to the overall availability of funding, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the scheme as outlined in Circular Letter (0055/2015), which may be accessed on my Department's website. The application from the school in question is available to be considered in this context.
