The school referred to by the Deputy has been included on the list of schools which have been successful under the summer works scheme 2006. The school has been approved for a combined project comprising mechanical, roofing and classroom conversion works.

All the schools covered by the initiative will be contacted directly by the school building section of the Department with details of the grant aid being provided and instructions on how to proceed.

The school referred to by the Deputy applied for an external environment project under the summer works scheme 2006. The school planning section of my Department also has on hands an application for additional accommodation from the management authority of the school and this proposed building project is being considered under another scheme. In light of this, the school's summer works scheme application was deemed unsuccessful as it was considered poor value for money for the school to undertake external environment works prior to the proposed building project.

The management authority of the school has appealed this decision and this appeal is being considered. Officials in school planning will contact the school directly when a decision is reached.
