I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I announced details of successful applicants under the current Summer Works Scheme on 19 April, 2010. 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 has recently contacted all schools approved for grant aid, including the school referred to by the Deputy, with details and instructions on how to proceed. Details of the successful applications are available on the Department's website, www.education.ie.

The school to which the Deputy refers to has been approved for the provision of an electrical upgrade. The Deputy may also be aware that schools were invited to apply for funding for water conservation measures as part of the Summer Works Scheme. It is intended that these applications will be processed separately and I hope to announce details of the successful applicants later this year.
