Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 March 2024
374. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to delays in allocating emergency funding for a school (details supplied); if a timeline for drawdown can be provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11776/24]
View answerMy department provides funding for emergency repairs caused by sudden unforeseen events which require immediate action. In order to avail of this funding a school must submit an application to the Emergency Works Scheme. The school to which the deputy refers has not submitted such an application to date. My department will process any application submitted by this school and revert with a decision when all the relevant information has been received.
