I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for works under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme.
Unfortunately, due to the scale of demand for funding under the scheme, it was not possible to grant aid all applications. As outlined in the Circular governing the operation of the scheme, applications for works in the higher categories were prioritised and it was not possible to include the school referred to by the Deputy in the list of 453 successful schools that were announced on 30 March 2011. A letter to this effect will be issuing to the school shortly.
