Question 168: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills, further to Parliamentary Question No. 133 of 16 November 2011, if the rejection letter of 4 May 2011 could be reconsidered in view of health and, more urgently, safety concerns. [37383/11]

The school in question submitted an application in February 2011 for Emergency Funding for replacement of windows. As the scope of works for this project is outside the terms of the Emergency Works Scheme it cannot be considered for emergency funding. A refusal letter in respect of this application issued to the school authorities on 4 May 2011.

As outlined in my reply to the Deputy's Parliamentary Question of 16 November, 2011 my Department has no record of having received an application for emergency funding from this school for works related to pressure cracks.

Should an application be received it will be assessed and the school authorities will be notified of the outcome.
