I propose to take Questions Nos. 532 and 589 together.

The school referred to by the Deputy applied under the Summer Works Scheme 2007 for the replacement of the railings around the school boundary. On the 8 January 2007 I announced details of the schools to receive funding to improve facilities under the Summer Works Scheme 2007. However, due to the volume of applications received it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects. The Department has received an appeal on this decision from the school authority which will be considered.
