The school referred to by the Deputy accepted an invitation to participate in a devolved initiative contained in the 2004 school building programme. This enables the school authority to provide additional accommodation with a maximum grant level of €200,000.
The initiative operates on a devolved basis and allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and allows boards of management control over the pace at which building works proceed.
It is my understanding that the contractor has recently commenced works on site. My Department will arrange for the payment of grant aid when the necessary documentation has been submitted and a request to draw down funds has been received from the board of management.
