Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
462. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding summer works applications; if the case of a school (details supplied) will be examined; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32168/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has submitted an application for external works (Category 10) under my Department’s multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards.
I wish to advise the Deputy that commensurate with the level of funding available for the SWS in 2020, applications 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 (0027/2019) is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
It is my intention to publish a list of successful applicants in Q4 2019 for works to be carried out in summer 2020.
