The Planning and Building Unit of my Department has checked this matter again and it has confirmed to me that it has no record of receiving the application to which the Deputy refers.

The copy of the application provided with the details supplied is incomplete in that it is not signed or dated by the Chairperson of the Board of Management. It is also not properly signed off by the Consultant.

The school should submit a fully completed application form together with the mandatory photographic evidence to the Department's Devolved Grants/Rental Payments Section, Department of Education and Skills, Portlaoise Road, Tullamore, Co. Offaly. When received the application will be fully considered in the context of the criteria governing the Department's Emergency Works Grant Scheme.
