Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
276. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of an emergency works scheme application for a primary school (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35218/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to upgrade its sewage system. The purpose of the Emergency Works Scheme generally is to carry out repair works in sudden and unforeseen circumstances. The upgrade of systems is appropriate to the Summer Works Scheme.
On this basis, the school authority has been informed that my Department would be willing to consider an application for scaled back works to deal with the most urgent element of the works. To date a revised application has not been submitted by the school.
