I wish to raise last week's announcement regarding the summer works scheme for national schools across the country, specifically Mullahoran central national school, which submitted an application. The school is devastated that the Department of Education and Skills has rejected its application and has written to the Department to ask it to appeal its decision. The application is for a play area and the surface area around the play area. It is very important. The school's principal, Fionnuala McGahern, would be very anxious for the Taoiseach to look into that.
