As 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. As the scope of works as outlined by the Deputy is outside the terms of the Emergency Works Scheme it cannot be considered for emergency funding.
