Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Co. Wexford VEC submitted applications in 2010, 2011 and 2012 on behalf of the school referred to by the Deputy for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme for roof works, demolition of old boys NS, upgrade Home Economics Room, universal access, extraction system in Metalwork Room, Ventilation in Science Laboratory, Fire Door, Gas Works and Chemical Storage Cabinet in Woodwork Room.

All of these works, with the exception of the upgrade of the Home Economics Room, were approved for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme.

As the scope of works for the upgrade of the Home Economics Room is outside the terms of the scheme it cannot be considered for funding. Co. Wexford VEC has been informed of this decision.
