I wish to advise the Deputy that the school submitted a Summer Works Scheme (SWS) application for general upgrade of its sanitary facilities. As the application did not meet the criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the scheme, the Department was not in a position to consider the application. The position has been clarified to the school.

It remains open to the school authority to apply for these works under future SWS. In the meantime, the school may to utilise its Minor Works Grant to undertake the works in full or in part, as the grant allows should the school consider the works to be a priority.
