I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I recently announced that 453 primary and post primary schools across the country will receive funding under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme. Approval letters have been issued to all successful schools and details are also available on my Department's website www.education.ie. Unfortunately, due to the scale of demand for funding under the scheme, it was not possible to grant aid all applications. As outlined in the Circular governing the operation of the scheme, applications for works in the higher categories were prioritised. All schools who were not successful under the scheme will receive written notification shortly.
