Over 3,000 projects, costing in excess of €300 million, have been completed since the Summer Works Scheme was introduced in 2004. With so many smaller projects having been completed over the past few years, my Department is focusing on delivering as many large projects as possible in 2008. Accordingly, there is no Summer Works Scheme for 2008. However, it is intended to have a Summer Works Scheme in 2009.
