Question 97: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills if her attention has been drawn to the fact that both safety and comfort for pupils and teachers are severely compromised by the current state of a school (details supplied) in County Wexford; in view of the fact that her Department has not spent a large proportion of its schools budget for the current year, if she will review the funding application submitted in respect of emergency repairs to the roof and other parts of this school; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

An application for funding under Emergency Works was submitted by the school in question. However, following an assessment of the application and in light of the nature and scale of the works involved it is not possible to provide funding at this time.

It is open to the school authority to submit an application for these works under the next round of the Summer Works Scheme.
