Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 June 2016
92. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding will be provided to a school (details supplied) under the emergency works scheme or summer works scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18846/16]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of a Category 6 application for roof works under the Summer Works Scheme (2016-2017) from the school to which he refers. Valid SWS (2016-2017) applications from schools in respect of Categories 3 to 10 that were not reached under round one approvals announced on 28th April last, will, subject to the overall availability of funding, qualify to be assessed under future rounds of the Scheme. If this arises, the terms and conditions of the scheme as outlined in Circular Letter (0055/2015) which may be accessed on my Department's website, will continue to apply when allocating funding to such projects.
The SWS (2016-2017) application from the school, in question, is available to be considered in this context.
