The school to which the Deputy refers was approved grant aid for 3 standalone classrooms and a WC for assisted users. This grant aid was subsequently increased in line with the Department's recently revised basic building costs.
The Department reviewed the case again recently in light of planning conditions and unforeseen site conditions. I am pleased to be able to tell the Deputy that further grant aid is being made available to the school to meet these costs. The school has been notified accordingly.
The school recently applied for further additional accommodation and this is under consideration. A response will issue to the school in this matter as quickly as possible.
