The school in question progressed a capital project without the approval or agreement of the Department of Education and Science, for which retrospective funding of €127,000 was sought. Since the introduction of the school building programme, under which all projects to be funded from the allocation are listed, it is not possible to consider applications for retrospective funding. Accordingly, the grant sought in this case was not approved.
