Included in this year's summer works scheme projects is the provision or refurbishment of science labs in 24 post primary schools at an estimated total cost of €5.7 million. The refurbishment projects applied for under the summer works scheme by the school in question were not deemed suitable under this scheme owing to the extent of works required. The school planning section of my Department will be writing to the school authorities shortly advising them of the options available for addressing the required works.
