Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
158. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for a summer works scheme by a school (details supplied); his views on the eligibility of the school for the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8377/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question applied for funding under SWS 2020 onwards for 'Toilet Facilities'.
The Deputy may be aware that I 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.
