I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application to my Department for funding under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme. A list of 453 successful schools was announced on 30 March 2011. I regret that the application made by the school was not selected because the Consultant did not meet the qualification criteria outlined in the Scheme's governing Circular for the works in question. A letter to this effect has issued to the school.
