The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to provide a set down/drop off point at the school.

As the scope of the works were outside the terms of the scheme, the application was refused. The mechanism for applying for funding for works of this nature is my Department’s Summer Works Scheme.

It is open to the school authority to apply for these works under a future Summer Works Scheme.
