View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the school in question was refused emergency works funding for a full roof replacement as this does not fall under the scope of the scheme. However, it is open to the school to reapply for emergency works funding for the minimum works necessary, for example repair works to the roof, to resolve the issue.
Alternatively the school authority may apply for funding under the summer works scheme when this next opens for applications as this is the proper mechanism for applying for funding for full roof replacements.
