My Department has identified five schools (four primary schools and one post primary school) where works are required to by undertaken to address issues caused by pyrite.

The schools in question are all in Dublin and are as follows:

- St Patrick's NS Diswellstown;

- St Canice's NS Finglas;

- St Peter's NS Phibsboro;

- St Michael's Holy Faith SS Finglas;

- Castleknock Educate Together NS.

If a school authority identifies any issues with a building that have been caused by pyrite, it is open to it to submit an application for funding under my Department’s Emergency Works Scheme.

Application forms are available on my Department’s website.
