Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 November 2024
139. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Education the reason a school (details supplied) was previously unsuccessful in the emergency works scheme for a full roof replacement, given that the roof membrane is now at the end of its life expectancy and a health and safety concern, that consideration would be given to granting them funding for this now; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45679/24]
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 works. The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works and the school was 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.
