Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2024
292. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Education if his Department received correspondence from a school (details supplied); when they will act on same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10141/24]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers has submitted correspondence in respect of funding for a roof replacement under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS), however no EWS application has been received to date. The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works and the school was advised to submit an EWS application with a revised scope of works based on a leak detection test, and an accompanying Itemised Cost Breakdown for the revised scope of works. To date my Department has received the leak detection report and is currently awaiting the Itemised Cost Breakdown for the revised scope of works. My Department is aware of the urgent nature of these works and will keep the school informed throughout the process.
