Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 March 2014
363. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Education and Skills the funds that are available to a school (details supplied) in County Cork to remove trees which fell as a result of the recent storms and restore the school grounds to a safe environment for the children attending the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13655/14]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware all school buildings that are not covered by state indemnity are required to adequately insure their school premises including insurance for storm damage. Accordingly, any damages caused during the recent bad weather would be a matter for schools' insurers.
If works are required to school buildings that is not covered by insurance it is open to the school authority to submit an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme.
