342. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Education if her Department can suggest a funding scheme or grant that would allow for a school (details supplied) to address constant flooding in its schoolyard, which prevents the children from using the yard. [61672/22]
View answerThe Minor Works Grant is the funding mechanism for schools for dealing with small scale works.
More significant works are dealt with via the multi-annual Summer Works Scheme. The purpose of the Summer Works Scheme is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to undertake small-scale building works which, ideally, can be carried out during the summer months or at other times that avoid disrupting the operation of the school.
The Emergency Works Scheme is the mechanism for dealing with emergency works at individual schools.
