116 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Education and Skills if she has received an application under the summer works scheme from a school (details supplied) in County Cork; if funding will be made available for same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4605/11]

I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy has submitted an application for works under the 2011 Summer Works Scheme. Applications for funding under the scheme are currently being processed in my Department, as outlined in the Circular governing the operation of the Scheme, and the school authority in question will be notified of the decision on the application later in the year.
