Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 October 2017
72. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if approval will be given for a setdown or drop-off point for a school (details supplied) in the interests of health and safety; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43205/17]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to provide a set down/drop off point 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.
