Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
353. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding will be provided to a school (details supplied) in County Kerry to address a serious mechanical problem; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16295/15]
View answerIt is open to the school referred to by the Deputy to submit an application for the works referred to under a future Summer Works Scheme. In that regard, it is also open to the school to utilise the Minor Works grant it received in December 2014 last for upgrading works to the heating system, in question. The school authority may also submit an application for Emergency Works funding should they deem that any of the works required come within the scope of the Emergency Works Scheme. The main purpose of this Scheme is to ensure the availability of funding for urgent works to those schools that are most in need of resources as a result of an emergency situation.
