PQ 787
787. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education and Youth if the application window for the Summer Programme 2026 was open for a very limited time between 6 and 15 May, whereas the application window last year was open for a much longer period; her views that many students will not benefit from the programme this year, as a result of schools and parents not being aware of this new small application window; will she reopen the portal for applications for those who missed out due to not being made aware of the new application timeframe; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
