Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1313. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide an update on previous correspondence (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31667/15]
View answerMy Department approved funding to the school referred to by the Deputy for a building project to provide a one classroom Special Needs Unit together with a secure hard/soft play area and parking associated with the new unit. A once-off set up grant for the Unit was also approved and I understand the project was completed in early 2013.
The school sought additional funding in respect of the project earlier this year. My Department sought clarification in respect of the funding request in order to consider the matter further. Additional information was received, however further clarification is required and my Department contacted the school recently in this regard.
Once the additional clarification required has been received the matter will be considered further.
