661 Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will assist a school (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4859/10]
View answerEmergency works grants are made available to those schools most in need of resources as a result of unforeseen emergencies of a capital nature that may arise during the school year. It is open to the school in question to submit an application for emergency funding to the Building Unit of my Department. Should such an application be submitted it will be assessed without delay and the school authorities will be notified of the outcome.
