Question:

218. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an emergency works application by a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30398/18]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department’s Planning and Building Unit received an Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) Application from the school in question in December 2015. The school authority was requested to scale back the works to repairs only to qualify for consideration under the Scheme. A revised application was not received. It is open to the school to submit a new or revised EWS application and this will be given full consideration by my Department.
