426 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will provide emergency funding for the development of car parking facilities at a school (details supplied) in County Clare in order to introduce measures to protect the safety of pupils attending the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22830/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school referred to by the Deputy applied under the Summer Works Scheme 2007 for funding for car parking facilities. The application was unsuccessful however, as due to the volume of applications received; it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects.
The school management subsequently submitted the project for consideration under my Departments Emergency Works Scheme. The application was unsuccessful and the management have lodged an appeal against this decision. The appeal will be processed and a decision conveyed to the school as soon as possible.
