335. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education the number of applications for summer works schemes in respect of schools from County Kildare received to date; the extent to which she expects to be in a position to respond favourably; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25460/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to inform the Deputy there are currently 15 Applications under various categories, currently awaiting assessment on the Esinet Administration Application, in regards to the Summer Works Scheme for the County of Kildare .
The Deputy may be aware that in December 2020 I announced details of the schools that will receive funding in summer 2021 in respect of applications submitted for Roof Works (Category 2) in Primary schools and Toilet Facilities (Category 6) in Primary and Post Primary schools..
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.
