My Department set aside a contingency sum each year to deal with emergency works in primary and post-primary schools, including health and safety works. The Planning & Building Unit of my Department has no application to date from the school authority for funding under the Contingency Programme nor for the Rental of Temporary Accommodation on foot of the recent flood damage.

Officials of my Department have been in contact with the school authority advising them to apply for funding under the appropriate schemes and application forms for funding have been forwarded to the school for completion.
