The school referred to by the Deputy applied under the Summer Works Scheme 2007 for funding to provide car parking at the school. Due to the volume of applications received in the Department it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects and the school referred to by the Deputy was not successful in this instance. It is open to the school authority to apply for funding under the 2008 scheme, details of which were recently announced by my Department.
