The works referred to by the Deputy are appropriate to the summer works scheme, the purpose of which is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to undertake small scale building works which, ideally, can be carried out during the summer months. The school referred to by the Deputy has not made an application under the 2006 summer works scheme.

It will be open to the school authority to apply under the summer works scheme 2007, which will be published in the course of 2006. In the meantime the school authority should use the devolved grant to deal with any health and safety issues arising at the school.
