Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
477. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education the possible funding avenues available to a school to install a fire alarm system; and if her Department will urgently assist schools that do not currently have a fire warning system in place. [35334/20]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the funding of Life Safety Systems, under which category this falls, was announced under my Department's Summer Works Scheme last year.
If a particular school did not apply for funding of Life Safety Systems under that round of the Summer Works Scheme, an application should now be made under the Emergency Works Scheme, which is the proper mechanism for delivering projects of this nature.
Details of how to apply for funding under this scheme can be found on the Department's website at https://www.education.ie/en/Circulars-and-Forms/Active-Circulars/cl0068_2020.pdf
