As I previously informed the Deputy the school in question applied for funding for replacement of windows under the emergency works scheme. 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 the time. It is open to the school authorities to re-apply for funding for these works in 2009. If such an application is received it will be considered in light of available funding at the time.

My Department received an application for emergency funding from the school in question. This application is currently under consideration and a decision will be reached very shortly. The school authorities will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
