The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) to carry out roof works to the school building. The works were deemed to be outside the scope of the scheme and the application was refused in that context.

However to assist the school address the problems in the interim the school have been advised to appoint a Roof Detection Leaks specialist to identify the leaks within the existing roof and once the leaks have been detected, the necessary repairs can be carried though the EWS until a more permanent solution can be carried out under the Summer Works Scheme. The leak detection test will be funded under the EWS.
