Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
477. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an application for funding for a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5061/16]
View answerUnder my Department's Emergency Works Grant Scheme, the school in question applied for a range of works including ramps, railings, automatic front doors, a designated wheelchair car-parking spot and widened footpaths to enable a special needs pupil to attend the school. Funding was approved for these works last February. In addition to this, funding for an enlarged classroom and a resource room was recently approved under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme. The school has been notified of this. Neither of the school's applications requested the provision of the facility referred to in the details supplied.
