On 27th June 2013 the school referred to by the Deputy was approved a devolved grant under the Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme for the provision of 3 x 80m2 Mainstream Classrooms. I understand that the school authority has also decided to funding the provision of further additional accommodation as part of the project.

A devolved project allows individual school authorities the means to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them day to day control of their building project. It is a central tenet of the devolved schemes that responsibility for the management of a project, including cost control, the timing of tendering and construction rests with the school authority.
