The school referred to by the Deputy applied for funding for replacement of windows under the emergency works scheme. Generally emergency works grants are made available to schools most in need of resources as a result of unforeseen emergencies of a capital nature that may arise during the school year. The application from the school was assessed in my Department. However, in light of the large number of projects seeking funding under this scheme from the budget allocated, it was not possible to provide funding to the school at this time.
