I wish to advise the Deputy that funding has already been approved by my Department under the Emergency Works Grant Scheme (EWGS) for various works for a building on the school site, referred to, that was not impacted by the fire and hence not covered by the school's insurance. Following a site visit by my Department officials, a further EWGS application has been received from the school concerned for further works to that building. This application is currently under consideration and a decision in the matter will issue directly to the school authority shortly.
