The schools referred to by the Deputy made a joint application for funding under the summer works scheme 2005. This application did not comply with the terms and conditions of the scheme in that it was not accompanied by the necessary consultant's report. The application was unsuccessful for this reason.

My Department will be in contact with the schools shortly in relation to the appeal submitted by them in the matter.
