The main purpose of the Emergency Works Grant Scheme is to provide for unforeseen emergencies that impact on school buildings. An emergency is a situation which poses an immediate risk to health, life, property or the environment, which is sudden, unforeseen and requires immediate action and, in the case of a school, if not corrected would prevent the school or part thereof from opening. Should the school consider the issues raised to fall under remit of the Emergency Works Grant Scheme, the Board of Management should appoint a Registered Architect, Chartered Civil/Structural Engineer or Registered Building Surveyor to complete an Emergency Works application on their behalf. In order to be of assistance I have attached the circular for the Emergency Works Scheme.
