The scope of works to which the Deputy refers is appropriate for consideration under the summer works scheme. While the school in question has submitted an application under the 2006 summer works scheme, it has not applied for grant aid towards the resurfacing of its yard.

All primary schools receive an annual minor works grant from my Department. Each school gets a standard rate of €3,809 together with a per pupil rate of €12.70. It is open to the school management authority to use this devolved grant for resurfacing works provided it is not required for more urgent works.
