As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works, a grant was sanctioned to enable the management authorities of the school in question to provide additional permanent accommodation.

The initiative allows Board 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 building project commenced on site in early May and the necessary documentation to draw down 70% of the funding will be submitted to my Department's Building Unit within the next few days.

My Department has no request for any further facilities for this school.
