An application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to replace the fire and intruder alarm systems along with upgrading the exterior security lighting and CCTV system has been received from South Tipperary VEC in respect of the school referred to by the Deputy. As the scope of works for this project is outside the terms of the Emergency Works Scheme they cannot be considered for emergency funding. The school authorities were advised of this.
