233.

View answerSt David’s CBS in Artane was approved funding under the Summer Works Scheme for the upgrade of the heating system at the school.
Following a tender process, the school authority appointed a consultant to progress the project. When the consultant attended the site to conduct survey works related to the proposed heating upgrade project, the consultant advised that a full review and assessment of the building fabric was required to be carried out by a specialist, prior to any heating upgrade works being started. It should be noted that this school is a protected structure.
The project is currently being considered within the Dept. and a decision on same will be made in the near future. The Dept. will be in contact with the school directly thereafter.
