I wish to advise the Deputy that details of the 197 successful school applicants in Categories 1 and 2 under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) were announced on 28th April last, details of which are also published on my Department's website,www.education.i.e. I also wish to advise the Deputy that the SWS will be applied on a multi-annual basis for the years 2016 and 2017.

Under SWS (2016-2017), valid applications from schools that were not reached for funding reasons from within the funding made available in 2016 will qualify to be assessed for purposes of the funding available in 2017, subject to the overall availability of funding. If this arises, the terms and conditions of the scheme as outlined in Circular Letter (0055/2015) which may be accessed on my Department's website, will continue to apply when allocating funding to such projects. The application from the school referred to by the Deputy, for a Category 7 project, is available to be considered in this context.
