I am pleased to advise the Deputy that on 30 March last I announced that 453 primary and post primary schools across the country have been successful in their applications for funding under the Summer Works Scheme this year. A list of the successful projects under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme is available on the Department's website www.education.gov.ie. Funding amounting to some €41 million has been allocated under the scheme. These funds will allow the schools in question to carry out small and medium scale works this summer and covers projects in school buildings such as gas, electrical and mechanical works.
