MORE than 50 schools have been added to the Department of Education’s Summer Works Scheme for a range of repairs and other projects to be carried out during the school holidays.
Education Minister Ruairí Quinn has secured almost €5 million, in addition to the €71m already allocated to the scheme, bringing the total number of schools to benefit to almost 880.
The Irish Examiner has learned that 40 primary and 11 second-level schools who appealed their exclusion from earlier phases of the scheme, will find out today that their appeals have been successful.
They include nine Dublin schools, six in Galway and five in Wexford.
