Colm Burke

Ceist:

265. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Education the reason a school (details supplied) has been refused approval under the Emergency Works Programme for an urgent project which impacts children’s safety in this school; what programmes are available to schools to apply for works urgently due to the health and safety nature of the works, that the school can receive urgent funding for the project; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The School to which the deputy refers submitted an Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) application seeking funding for works to Life Safety Systems in the school. The application was approved and the school was advised to carry out works immediately. This particular application refers to an evolving situation and as such, My Department will continue to liaise with the school in question.
