Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 January 2026
1121. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Education and Youth the position regarding funding to a school (details supplied) under emergency works; and the reason a funding application was refused given the immediate nature of the risk posed. [74688/25]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS). The school's EWS application was refused on the basis that works being sought did not qualify for funding under the EWS remit. The application in question is currently being reviewed by the Department of Education’s EWS team under the appeals process.
Once this review process is complete the EWS team 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.
