87 Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update on contacts made by her Department in respect of the problems brought to the Department’s attention in December 2010 in respect of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1968/11]

The School Authority contacted officials in my Department in December 2010 in relation to damages to a roof caused by inclement weather. They were advised to submit an Emergency Works application for funding to have the roof repaired and to have improvement works carried out to the school's sewerage system. There is no record of any Emergency Works application having been received for these works. The Building Unit of my Department wrote to the school authorities recently reminding them that this application is awaited.
