481 Mr. McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason an application for a grant was refused for a school (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will review the situation with a view to making the grant available in view of the need for same. [3404/07]

The school referred to by the Deputy applied under the Summer Works Scheme 2007 for car parking facilities. On the 8 January 2007 I announced details of the schools to receive funding to improve facilities under the Summer Works Scheme 2007. However, due to the volume of applications received it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects. My Department's School Planning Section has received an appeal on this decision from the school authority which will be considered by the Department.
