Question:

189. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) in Dublin 11 has been refused funding for the purposes of repairing the outdoor play area. [20763/19]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department has no record of an application from the school to which the Deputy refers for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme for works to repairing an outdoor play area.

My Department did receive an Emergency Works Scheme application for repairs to the mechanical and heating system in the school. This was refused as it was a request for retrospective funding of unapproved works.
