The scope of works referred to by the Deputy is suitable for consideration under the Department's Summer Works Scheme. It is open to school management authorities to make an application under this scheme which is published each year by the Department. Alternatively, schools can use their minor works grant which is issued by the Department annually and which has recently been increased to reflect construction inflation. The revised grant is now €5,500 per school plus €18.50 per mainstream pupil and €74.00 for pupils in special classes or special schools.
