Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 November 2016
129. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the extent to which he has received submissions from the school authorities at a school (details supplied) requesting a top up of funding to complete the project; when he expects to be in a position to meet the request; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35496/16]
View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was allocated funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2015 to provide 3 mainstream classrooms.
The school subsequently applied for additional funding for the project. My Department has been in communication with the school authority about this application to ascertain how and why the additional funding request arises.
My Department expects to be able to take a decision on the request shortly and this will issue directly to the school authority.
