Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school to which he refers is among the list of successful applicants published yesterday that will receive capital funding under the Small Schools Scheme (SSS) 2007. All the schools approved for funding under the scheme will be contacted directly by the Building Unit of the Department with details of the grant aid being provided and instructions on how to proceed.
