548. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she has received a request from the board of management of a school (details supplied) for additional funding towards an approved extension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45845/15]
View answerThe school in question was approved funding in 2015 under the Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide two new classrooms and some conversion works to the existing building. The school authority submitted an application for additional funding in respect of an increased scope of works. While additional funding was made available for the original project at that time, an increase in the scope of works was not approved. The school authority was advised to reduce the scope of works to the original approval. The school authority has submitted an appeal which is currently being considered and the school will be advised without delay when a decision has been made.
