Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills why he has not funded the extension to a school (details supplied) despite instruction from a previous Minister for Education and Skills that funding should be furnished; to expedite the payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department's Planning and Building Unit has no record of any agreement to pay additional grant aid to the school in question.
In 2004 the school authority was allocated a devolved grant of €100,000 to enable it to provide a one classroom special needs unit at the school. This grant was subsequently increased to €281,000 to enable a second classroom to be provided and to cover extra costs associated with the delivery of the project.
The final payment in respect of this grant was made in October 2005.
