188. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her attention has been drawn to the fact that there has been a number of break-ins costing thousands of euro at a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; her views on the resulting costs threatening services to children and that the school has CCTV needs; if she will grant emergency funding to the school to cover the situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department's Planning and Building Unit has no record of receiving an application for funding from the school referred to by the Deputy for security measures at the school.

If the school in question considers that there are works of an emergency nature requiring attention it is open to the school authority to submit an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme. The main purpose of the scheme is to ensure the availability of funding for urgent works to those schools that are most in need of resources as a result of an emergency situation.

Details of the scheme, together with an application form for grant assistance, can be accessed on my Department's website.
