Amharc ar fhreagra194. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills to approve emergency grant funding to replace the floor in the physical education hall at a school (details supplied) as a matter of urgency to facilitate much needed works being carried out over the summer 2016 school break; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 together.
The application from the school to which the Deputy refers is currently being re-considered. The Planning and Building unit of my Department will be in contact with the school directly when a decision has been taken in this matter.
