Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2020
81. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education the funding that exists for a school (details supplied) and other schools to install water fountains on their school grounds; the way in which an application can be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39798/20]
View answerI would like to inform the Deputy that the school in question or other schools, should use their Minor Works Grant in the first instance to complete these works; minor works payments issued to primary schools during July and a further payment will issue in December of this year.
Primary and post-primary schools requiring emergency works to be undertaken should apply under this scheme by completing the online Emergency Works Application Form available through the Esinet system and which can be found on the following link: https://www.esinet.ie/portal/login.init.action and EWS applications can be found within the Esinet system under the tab labelled ‘Devolved Projects’.
