Amharc ar fhreagra613 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will give early approval to a school (details supplied) in Dublin 9 to proceed to carry out a refurbishment of the school and assembly hall in view of the poor condition of these and the fact that the school has been promised this work for some time. [17675/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 560 and 613 together.
Proposals for works were received from the schools in question in the context of an amalgamation negotiation. The amalgamation is not being pursued. It is open to the school authority to apply for funding for the works concerned under the Summer Works Scheme. Details of the 2008 Scheme were recently published on the Department's website www.education.ie. The closing date for the receipt of completed applications is the 28th of September.
