Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2012
207. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to an application for emergency works for a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; the reasons this application was refused; if his attention has been drawn to the health and safety issues in the school arising from this decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56422/12]
View answerAn application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to replace the fire and intruder alarm systems along with upgrading the exterior security lighting and CCTV system has been received from South Tipperary VEC in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy. As the scope of works for this project is outside the terms of the Emergency Works Scheme they cannot be considered for emergency funding. The school authorities were advised of this.
