The school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for funding under my Department's 2014 Summer Works Scheme for the partial replacement of windows.

As the Deputy is aware funding in excess of €70m was approved to allow over 770 schools to undertake improvement works for applications received under categories 1 to 6, which cover gas works, electrical works, mechanical works, toilet facilities and roof works.

Schools which applied under categories 7 to 10 including the school in question were advised that their applications would be retained for prioritisation if funding for further summer works projects could be secured for 2015. The feasibility of making further funding available to facilitate the consideration of these applications is currently being considered.
