Séamus McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I want to raise the issue of July provision. The summer programme is very important, providing additional educational supports to students during the summer months. Unfortunately, issues have arisen this year in relation to the application process. A very short window was open for schools to apply. Many received no notification and were not aware of the application process. Schools that have benefited from this provision in recent years have not had the opportunity to apply. This needs to be reviewed and schools need to be given the opportunity to apply. I ask that the Tánaiste take this message back to the Department and try to open up the application process again.
