Issued : Tuesday 10 May, 2011
Labour Party TD for Dublin South West Eamonn Maloney TD has welcomed the announcement that several schools in the Dublin South West constituency have been approved for extra works in the Summer Works Scheme 2011.
Deputy Maloney was pleased to hear from the Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn that schools badly in need of refurbishment will see work commence this summer. The announcement comes as part of the new Jobs Initiative announced by Minister for Finance Michael Noonan this evening. An allocation of €30 million will be provided for the works as one of Labour pre-election commitments.
Deputy Maloney states: "I very much welcome the announcement that several schools in the Dublin South West area have been approved for much needed refurbishment.
I also welcome the additional employment that these summer works will provide as this type of work is very labour intensive.
The Government has also announced that the minimum wage will be restored from July 1st as promised by the Labour Party in the run up to election and I very much welcome this move."
