Question:

335. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education when a decision will be made on an appeal lodged against the refusal of grant aid under the emergency works scheme to a school in County Galway (details supplied); the need for said grant assistance due to the school's concern for the health and well-being of their pupils due to the lack of vital facilities in the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education

The School to which the deputy refers appealed this decision and supplied additional supporting documentation and photographs to my Department. In light of the additional information provided the EWS team has advised the school that it has been successful in its appeal and the application has now been approved, my Department will continue to liaise with the school as appropriate.
