Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

I appreciate that the Minister does not have line responsibility for education but she might know whether the summer works scheme is the only option available in the search for funding. Following a meeting of CountyCork VEC last week, a letter was issued to the Department. The summer works scheme is not normally regarded as the appropriate vehicle for obtaining the funding required. It would have been far preferable had the whole package been delivered when the school was first built. Perhaps the Minister will ask the Minister for Education and Science to liaise with me on this issue.
