I can confirm to the Deputy that an application for External Works (Category 10) has been received from the school authority in question, under my Department's previous multi-annual Summer Works Scheme.
Schools that previously applied for category 10 works (External Works, e.g. upgrade and resurfacing of yards and car parking, etc.) were exempt from applying for category 10 under the current Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards and could apply for an alternative category if they considered it necessary. It is intended to undertake an analysis of these outstanding applications. This analysis, together with funding availability and priorities for the SWS in 2020 will determine the pathway forward in respect of these remaining applications for category 10 external works.
It is my intention to publish a list of successful applicants in Q4, 2019 for works to be carried out in summer 2020.
