Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2019
212. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position of an application for funding under the summer works scheme by a school (details supplied) in County Cork for essential repairs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48944/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question applied for funding under SWS 2020 for Windows.
The Deputy may be aware that I recently announced details of the schools that will receive funding in summer 2020 in respect of applications submitted for 'Life Safety Systems projects'.
Commensurate with the level of funding set aside for the Scheme, applications are being assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the Scheme. In that regard, applications submitted for other works will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme. The school in question will be considered in this regard.
