Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

By the community, absolutely. We also have some different arrangements in place with local authorities to encourage school usage. It is something we are really striving to do. It is a matter for the school. We have issued encouragement through circulars for schools to do that. We are generally seeking to encourage them to have after-school care and school completion programmes funded by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. Tusla and so on operate on school premises. They are all really good things and we wanted to continue that in the context of PPPs. However, we wanted schools to have the first call on the hours.
