The school referred to by the Deputy was recently approved a devolved grant for the construction of an ASD Unit under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2014.
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.
The Deputy will appreciate that information on the levels of funding approved are commercially sensitive and cannot be released until the projects have been fully completed.
