The recent launch of Project Ireland 2040 included an announcement of a major package of investment in education for the next decade with the school building budget increasing by 70%. This investment will provide for the continued increase in demographics while also allowing for a greater focus on refurbishment and upgrading of existing school stock.
In this regard, I wish to advise the Deputy that I am committed to a new Summer Works Scheme, which will open for applications in the coming months for projects to be delivered from Summer 2020.
