View answerAs part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works a grant of €275,000 was sanctioned to enable the management authorities of the school in question to provide additional accommodation.
The initiative allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives boards of management control of the building project.
The school in question constructed two new classrooms, a resource room and a staff room. The works are expected to be completed by the end of the month.
