Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 April 2014
200. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) in County Mayo did not receive the summer works scheme grant 2014 when all the required criteria were met; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14833/14]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that on 20th March last I announced that 386 schools have been approved funding under the Summer Works scheme to undertake school improvements. This first round of funding will allow schools to carry out small and medium scale building works across three categories of projects - Gas, Electrical and Mechanical.
In the case of the school, referred to by the Deputy, my Department is liaising with the school regarding the summer works project sought in the context of the proposed major capital project earmarked for the school.
