Since 2010 only three application for funding have been received under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to have refurbishment works carried out as a result of flood damage. All schools building that are not covered by state indemnity are required to adequately insure their school premises including insurance for flood damage and if any of these schools were to be flooded my Department may not be notified as any damaged caused would be a matter for schools' insurers.
