Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

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

Mr. Hubert Loftus:

If the condition of those is very difficult and a real health and safety issue, then the emergency works scheme is a mechanism for dealing with that. Other than that, the summer works scheme and the climate focus works scheme will be opportunities for upgrade generally. The bigger and wider picture is through the deep energy retrofit programme. I am also aware that schools and some rural schools have got support from our colleague Departments in the context of rural affairs and LEADER-type funding, which has helped to improve local facilities. That is important too.
