Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 31 January 2013
85. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will approve funding for a school (details supplied) in County Cavan under his Department's emergency grant scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4997/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to Parliamentary Question No.109, dated 29 November 2012 I advised the Deputy that the school in question should submit an Emergency Works application for consideration by my Department. No such application was received until 25 January 2013 when the school submitted an application for retrospective funding for the works in question. My Department does not provide grant aid for projects undertaken by schools without prior approval.
