419. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education the steps being taken to address urgent repair works at a school in County Cork (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44475/24]

The school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) for fabric defect works. The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works and accordingly, the school was advised to submit a revised scope of works, based on a leak detection test,  along with an accompanying itemised cost breakdown.

Once this is received the EWS team will review the revised application and will engage further with the school as appropriate.

The EWS team is aware of the urgent nature of the works required and will keep the school informed throughout the process.
