Ceisteanna (306)

Colm Burke

Ceist:

306. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Education the current status for an application for emergency works (details supplied) for toilet facilities; when a decision is likely to be made in this case in view of the fact that these are urgently required to accommodate 42 children enrolled for September in the school which has recently become co-educational, that a delay in this project could result in the school being unable to accommodate these children; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education

The Emergency Works application to which the Deputy refers has been received by my Department and is under active consideration. Officials in my Department's Professional and Technical team are currently examining the application from a technical perspective and once a recommendation has been made by the Professional and Technical team an update will issue to the school. My Department is aware of the time-sensitive nature of the works required and will keep the school informed throughout the application process.
