Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Briefing on Current and Future Plans for the School Building Unit: Department of Education

Mr. Hubert Loftus:

In the short term, for the immediate emergency issues, no more than the likes of wheelchair access and so on, which is basic and important for supporting a child in the school, our emergency works scheme will be the funding mechanism for dealing with that. Our summer works scheme is a mechanism for dealing with the more substantial projects. Ultimately, the overall roll-out of the deep energy retrofit programme over the lifetime of the national development programme and beyond to meet the 2030 and 2050 climate targets is ultimately where the direction of travel will go in dealing with climate and dealing with modernisation.
