Is there any chance there will be a summer works scheme for 2015? If so, what will be the latest date by which it could be announced? It is my understanding that if there was to be one for this current year, applications would already have been sought and received.
On the minor works grant, is there funding in the Estimates for the payment of the minor works grant at the back end of this year? Is there a specific allocation for that?
The Minister mentioned prefab replacement. Does the Department have an average calculation for the length of time it takes to pay for the capital funding of a prefab based on the average rentals? Is it five or six years? It will vary in some cases but is there an overall calculation of the number of years replacing a prefab would take in terms of forgone rents?
