Minister for Education and Skills

My Department is currently considering 36 applications under its Emergency Works Scheme for works containing some structural elements.

19 of these applications are for works to enable access for all pupils and staff.  The type of work involved here is appropriate toileting facilities, door widening and ramps.

13 applications relate to roof repairs.  The remaining 4 applications relate to issues such as mould remediation and plaster and brickwork repairs.
