Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 October 2020
140. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Education if she will engage with a primary school (details supplied) in County Meath regarding ongoing road safety issues at the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29225/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the school in question submitted an application for capital funding under my Department's multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards for External Works (Category 10).
In late 2019, the details of the schools that will receive funding in Summer 2020 in respect of applications submitted for "Life Safety Systems projects" (Category 1) were announced.
Commensurate with the level of funding set aside for the Scheme, remaining applications are being assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the Scheme. In this regard, applications submitted for other works/categories will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.
