Written answers

The school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme. This was refused as it was for retrospective funding of works which progressed without prior approval by the Department.

School authorities should be aware that they are responsible for the management of funding for any expenditure incurred by them or members of their staff. In particular, they should be certain of their ability to fund such works prior to them being authorised.
