I 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.
