Amharc ar fhreagraThe school in question to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) for roof works.
The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works. During a recent visit to the school on 10 October 2024, the school were advised to submit a revised scope of works with an accompanying itemised cost breakdown.
Once this is received the EWS team will review the revised 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.
