I wish to inform the Deputy that an Emergency Works application was submitted by the school in question for funding to replace the complete roof. 

The scope of works sought by the school was wider than what is envisaged with the Emergency Works Scheme.  The school were advised to have their consultant carry out a survey of the roof and to submit a more targeted approach to their application focussing on emergency works.  The Summer Works Scheme is the more appropriate mechanism for dealing with applications for a full roof replacement.
