Expenditure on the Summer Works Scheme as requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below:
| Summer works scheme | 2018 Spend | 2019 Spend | 2020 Spend to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | €12,055,880.41 | €18,115,156.36 | €12,421,045.80 |
| Post Primary | €10,753,547.81 | €12,896,671.63 | €7,941,150.53 |
| Total | €22,809,428.22 | €31,011,827.99 | €20,362,196.33 |
It should be noted that expenditure in each individual year would include funding for works carried out on projects that had been included in earlier schemes that, for one reason or another, were not completed in the year envisaged for their completion. So, for example, expenditure in 2020 includes projects that were part of the 2019 Summer Works Scheme.
