Both the Dean Kelly National School and An Ghrianan NS in Mount Temple are just two of nine County Westmeath schools which will benefit from the Department of Education’s Summer Works Scheme programme for 2022.
This funding is part of the overall package of €65m for a total of 497 projects around the country.
Making the announcement, Minister for Education, Deputy Norma Foley, noted the funding allocated will enhance the relevant infrastructure at both schools.
“I am delighted to confirm this significant tranche of funding which will provide further investment for schools in Westmeath under the Summer Works Scheme.
“I am announcing the Summer Works Scheme projects now so that schools have a good lead-in period to plan and deliver the projects in summer 2022.
“This announcement follows on from the enhanced minor works funding which was delivered to schools a number of weeks ago,” Deputy Foley asserted.
