The Deputy will be aware that I announced details of the successful applicants under round two of the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) (2016-2017) for categories 3 – 6,  on the 3rd May last, details of which are published on my Department's website, .

Funding of €47 million is being made available for vital school projects in school buildings; 438 schools nationwide will benefit from this announcement.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that funding has been approved to the school to which he refers in respect of an application under SWS for roof works. The school has been advised of this decision through my Department’s on-line Easinet portal.
