View answerThe funding for the upgrading of a playground or sports ground routinely falls under the scope of the summer works scheme. The scheme for summer 2005 has just finished and the list of successful schools was recently announced. However, it is open to the school authorities to apply under the summer works scheme 2006, details of which will be published in the coming months. In the case of a primary school, applications should be submitted by the school's board of management, as opposed to the parents council.
