Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 July 2025
421. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Youth if an application for emergency works relative to health and safety in the name of a school (details supplied) will be expedited and approved. [37598/25]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) for external environment works. The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works required to remedy an emergency situation and, on this basis, the school was advised to submit further documentation and clarifications.
Once this has been received the EWS team will review the application and will engage further with the school as appropriate. The EWS team is aware of the urgent nature of the works required and will keep the school informed throughout the process.
