The management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application in April 2012 for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to replace high level windows and for dry-lining wall works at their school. As the scope of works for which funding is sought is outside the terms of the scheme they cannot be considered for funding. The management authority of the school has been informed of this decision.

This decision has been the subject of two appeals and the school authority have been informed that the project remained outside the scope of the scheme.
