Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2016
312. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the necessary funding will be made available to a school (details supplied) to proceed with their building project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13138/16]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding in 2015 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide two new classrooms and some conversion works to the existing building.
Additional funding was subsequently sought and granted for extra costs that accrued for the project.
Recently, the school again applied for a further grant uplift. My Officials are currently liaising with the school as to how and why the application for additional funding arises. When all of the relevant information has been received and reviewed the school will be informed of my Department's decision.
