Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2022
375. Deputy Joe Flaherty asked the Minister for Education if he will provide an update on the emergency works application from a school (details supplied) in respect of fencing needed to fence off a dangerous boundary area. [59490/22]
View answerI would like to advise the Deputy that the school in question has not requested funding under the Emergency Works or Summer Works Schemes for repairs to fencing.
The main purpose of the Emergency Works Grant Scheme is to provide for unforeseen emergencies that impact on the school. If the school authority considers that it has an unforeseen emergency situation that it is unable to otherwise address itself then it may submit an application under the Emergency Works Scheme and it can then be assessed by my Department.
