The scope of works required at the school to which the Deputy refers is appropriate for consideration under the Summer Works Scheme.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I announced details of the Summer Works Scheme for 2011 on 17 December last. Full details, including the application form, are available on my Department's website www.education.ie. The closing date for receipt of applications under the Scheme is 21 January 2011.

I wish to point out, however, that in the current budgetary climate, it will not be possible to fund all applications received and therefore schools should only apply for those projects of an urgent and priority nature.
