The school to which the Deputy refers may apply for the works in question under any future Summer Works Scheme. In the meantime, the school authority can use its Capitation Grant to address ongoing repairs and maintenance.

If health and safety works are identified that require immediate attention, an Emergency Works application for these works only can be submitted to my Department. The Emergency Works circular and application form are available on my Department’s website.
