I wish to advise the Deputy that details of the successful applicants under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme were announced on 30th March 2011 and are published on the Department's website, www.education.ie.

A total of €41.2 million will be made available under the Summer Works Scheme and will see major improvements in primary and post primary schools around the country including Co. Kildare. 453 primary and post primary schools across the country have been successful in their applications for funding under the Summer Works Scheme this year.

In light of further funding being made available under the Government's Jobs Initiative, projects submitted under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme were considered further. An additional 374 schools were successful under the Jobs Initiative Scheme. A list of all successful schools is also published on my Department's website www.education.ie.
