Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2025
442. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education and Youth to provide a breakdown of the number of schools, per county, that were approved under the muti-annual summer works scheme for the years 2022 to 2025 to date, respectively, in tabular form. [66049/25]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, in November 2025 the Minister announced the first tranche of approvals under the new Climate Action Summer Works Scheme. 297 projects were approved to proceed and involve primary, post primary and special schools, along with projects in all counties and across all categories of works. The investment in the first tranche of applications is in the region of €90m.
Under this scheme, approved applications from schools that were not reached for funding or market prioritisation reasons in 2026 will qualify to be assessed for purposes of the funding available for climate action summer works in subsequent years.
Full details of the Climate Action Works Scheme including details of the first tranche of approvals can be found at [gov.ie - Summer Works Scheme] (www.gov.ie/en/department-of-education/services/summer-works-scheme/).
Under the previous SWS 2020, the last tranche of SWS 2020 approvals were announced in 2022.
