It will be open to the management authority of Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Belcruit, Kincasslagh, County Donegal to apply for consideration of proposed works under the 2005 summer works scheme, details of which will be announced later this year. I introduced the summer works scheme this year to cater for small scale works that can be planned and delivered during the summer holidays. The list of successful applicants for the scheme in 2004 is published on my Department's website as are full details of the scheme. This school did not apply for the scheme in 2004. The school authority should continue to use the devolved grant which is paid annually by my Department to deal with any urgent health and safety works.
