Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
378. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will reverse a decision regarding an emergency works application by a school (details supplied) in view of the fact that funding is vital to ensure the health and safety of the children attending this school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41386/16]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to provide additional parking and a set down area at the school.
As the scope of the works were outside the terms of the scheme, the application was refused. The mechanism for applying for funding for works of this nature is my Department's Summer Works Scheme.
It is open to the school authority to apply for these works under a future Summer Works Scheme.
