Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 November 2004
172 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the fact that damage was caused to the roof of a school (details supplied) in County Cork during recent storms; if funding will be made available immediately to rectify the damage to prevent further loss or injury; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29507/04]
View answerThe funding required by the school in question falls within the scope of the minor works grant. If funds are available in the minor capital works account, the school should utilise this grant towards the works required. The school authorities have been advised by my Department that contingency funding is only available for emergency works arising in schools that cannot fund a project from the school's maintenance grant.
