I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I announced details of the successful applicants under the current Summer Works Scheme on 19 April, 2010. Some 1,490 primary and post-primary schools across the country will benefit from small and medium scale building works this summer under the €122 million investment programme announced.

The Planning and Building Unit of my Department will shortly contact all schools approved for grant aid with details and instructions on how to proceed. Details of the successful applications are available on the Department's website, www.education.ie.
