An application was made under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme by the school in question for a new drop off area at the school entrance. 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. The Department of Education and Skills prioritised applications from schools for Summer Works that were either Mechanical, Gas or Electric in nature.
