Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 July 2016
140. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which he expects to be in a position to approve an increase in funding offered to a school (details supplied) given the increase in costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23113/16]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was allocated funding to build a standalone extension to include a mainstream classroom, resource rooms and circulation area.
I can confirm to the Deputy that the school authority applied to my Department for additional funding for the project. My Department subsequently sought further information from the school in respect of this application. To date, this information has not been received. When it is received and has been reviewed a decision will issue to the school authority without delay.
