My Department received an application under the emergency works scheme from the school referred to by the Deputy for works relating to the provision of boundary fencing to control access to the school grounds.

As the scope of the works requested is outside the terms of the emergency works scheme it cannot be considered for funding. The school authority has been informed of this decision.

The school authority have recently appealed this decision. The appeal is currently being assessed. As soon as a decision is reached the school will be advised of the outcome.
