Question:

511 Mr. Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will ensure that funding will be provided for a school (details supplied) in County Cork to repair and replace the drains under the school building which are causing subsidence and undermining of its foundations; if the application for funding will be provided outside of the summer works scheme due to the potential engineering problems that may arise as a result of the complexity of the work; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the insurers of the school have expressed concern regarding the safety of the building; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

An application for funding for works at the school referred to by the Deputy has not been received in my Department. Accordingly, I arranged that an application form issue to the school for completion and return.

As soon as the completed application form is returned the matter will be considered and the outcome will be notified to the school authorities without delay.
