Jim Daly

Question:

151. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will make funding available for the completion of an emergency access area to a special needs school (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2430/16]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department's Planning and Building Unit has no record of receiving an application for funding from the school referred to by the Deputy. If the school in question considers that there are works of an emergency nature requiring attention it is open to the school authority to submit an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme.

Details of the scheme, together with an application form for grant assistance, can be accessed on my Department's website.
