I would like to inform the Deputy that the school to which she refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme for two categories of works (Roof and Structural) on the same application form. Under the terms and conditions of the scheme, each category of an emergency must be applied for separately.

The school had proposed a full roof replacement on their application which goes beyond the normal scope of the Emergency Works Scheme. The school have been contacted by the Emergency Works team and requested to submit a revised scope of works for the Roof to include the minimum works necessary to resolve the issue, until such time as a permanent solution can be carried out under the next multi-annual Summer Works Scheme.

They were also requested to upload a separate Emergency Works Scheme application for the Structural issues via their Esinet portal.
