The scope of works required at the school referred to by the Deputy is appropriate for consideration under the summer works scheme. While the school's application under the summer works scheme for 2004 was unsuccessful, it is open to the school's management authority to re-apply for the key priority works required at the school as part of the 2005 summer works scheme, details of which are now available on my Department's website www.education.ie. The closing date for receipt of applications under the terms of this scheme is 5 November 2004.
