Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2020
232. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of applications for emergency works that were refused in each of the years 2017 to 2019 and quarter 1 of 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12410/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to inform the Deputy that our records show that 154 Emergency Works Scheme applications were refused in 2017, 153 in 2018 and 128 in 2019. I can also inform the Deputy that 48 applications have been refused to date in 2020. The reasons for refusal ranged from incorrectly completed application forms to the works not being within the scope of the scheme.
