Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2016
396. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason for the delay in the processing of applications for the summer works scheme 2016-2017; when she expects her Department to notify schools if their applications were successful or not; and when she expects to publish a list of successful applicants. [8295/16]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that applications are currently being assessed, commensurate with the level of funding available for the Summer Works Scheme, on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the governing Circular Letter for the Scheme. This Circular Letter (0055/2015), is available on my Department's website www.education.ie. It is my intention to publish a list of successful applicants shortly.
