457 Mr. M. Smith asked the Minister for Education and Science if a grant to aid a school (details supplied) will be expedited. [31077/04]

The management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers recently made an application for roof replacement and upgrade of toilet facilities under the summer works scheme 2005. All applications for the 2005 scheme will be considered in the school planning section of my Department and it is planned to publish the list of successful applicants early in the new year. Grant aid of €9,471 was provided to the school authority last month from my Department's contingency fund for the replacement of a boiler.
