I propose to take Questions Nos. 657 and 658 together.
The details sought by the Deputy relating to schools from the area in question whose applications were approved for funding and those that were unsuccessful under the current Summer Works Scheme are contained in the following tabular statements.
Unsuccessful applications generally fall into two categories: - Invalid applications - Unapproved applications.
Applications are deemed invalid where schools do not submit an application consistent with the terms of the Scheme. Most commonly, schools apply for works which are not within the scope of the scheme or they have not engaged suitably qualified Consultants.
The Department operates a free phone service each year for schools to assist them in completing application forms and to provide general information on the Scheme to avoid the submission of invalid applications as far as possible. Frequently Asked Questions are published on my Department's website and the governing Circular Letter also contains full details in relation to qualifying applications. Unapproved applications generally arise where the works had already been completed under another funding mechanism or where the works were deemed not to be absolutely necessary at this point in time. Letters issue to the individual schools setting out the reasons why their applications are unsuccessful and a school may appeal the decision made in its case if it so wishes.
The Deputy will be aware that €80m will be spent on 1,180 projects in 967 schools this year. This investment will improve structural, mechanical, electrical, gas and other works in schools right across the country. I have already announced that, later this year, I will invite applications for a 2010 Summer Works Scheme.
