Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
438. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if additional funding can be facilitated for required accommodation at a school (details supplied) with particular reference to the growing demographics of the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1663/17]
View answerThe school in question was approved funding in 2014 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide 3 new mainstream classrooms.
In late 2016, additional funding was provided to the school authority to cover increased building costs for the approved works. My Department's Planning and Building Unit is satisfied that the total grant being provided is sufficient to deliver the approved project.
The school authority has been notified of this decision.
