As the Deputy may be aware all school buildings that are not covered by state indemnity are required to adequately insure their school premises including insurance for storm damage. Accordingly, any damages caused during the recent bad weather would be a matter for schools' insurers. If works are required to school buildings that are not covered by insurance it is open to the school authority to submit an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme.
