The scope of the works required at the school concerned is appropriate to the summer works scheme. The school referred to by the Deputy applied under the 2005 scheme for the installation of security lighting. I am pleased to announce that the school's application was successful. I will announce details of the summer works scheme 2006 shortly and it will be open to the management authority of the school to apply for further projects under that scheme.

The school in question also has an application with my Department for a major capital project, which has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria. This project is being considered in the context of the school buildings and modernisation programme.
