The scope of works required at the school to which the Deputy refers is outside the terms of my Department's Emergency Works Grant Scheme.

The works are appropriate for consideration under my Department's Summer Works Scheme and the school was advised accordingly.

In addition to this, the minor works grant, which was recently paid, can be used by the school to address some of the priority works.
