Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
215. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Education and Skills if funding for the renovation of a school (details supplied) will be considered; the reason for the reluctance of his Department to proceed with this project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3201/18]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the school in question applied for significant capital funding for various improvement works. The matter of phasing and prioritising the works was discussed with the school during a visit by my Department's technical division. An area of priority that the school wish to see addressed relates to insulation works.
My Department spoke with the school principal recently and was advised that cost estimates for these insulation works are currently being prepared and that these will be furnished to my Department when available. My Department will be in further contact with the school following receipt and consideration of the cost estimates.
