Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 March 2016
449. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she is aware that the wheelchair access lift in Coláiste Cholmcille in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, which two students wish to use, has been broken for a number of years; her plans to fix this lift; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4817/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has no record of an application for funding from the school to which the Deputy refers to repair its lift.
It is open to the school to use funding provided by my Department for its day to day running costs for this purpose. Otherwise, the school may apply to my Department for funding under the Emergency Works Grant Scheme. Details of how to apply for funding under this Scheme are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.
