Minister for Education and Skills

The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme (EWG) for repairs to a boundary wall.

As the scope of works was considered to be outside the terms of this scheme, the application was refused.

It is open to the school to use their Minor Works Grant for the works in question.
