Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
925. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Education the steps that are being taken with regard to addressing flood damage and the required repairs necessary in a school (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20615/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to inform the Deputy that an Emergency Works application was submitted by the school in question for funding to replace the complete roof.
The scope of works sought by the school was wider than what is envisaged with the Emergency Works Scheme. The school were advised to have their consultant carry out a survey of the roof and to submit a more targeted approach to their application focussing on emergency works. The Summer Works Scheme is the more appropriate mechanism for dealing with applications for a full roof replacement.
