View answerThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding for an Additional Accommodation Scheme project in April 2018. My Department has not received any subsequent application from the school seeking an increase in the funding approved. The School Authority should submit details of the circumstances giving rise to the increased costs supported by a report from the Design Consultant appointed by the School Authority for the purposes of this project. This should be sent to my Department's Devolved Projects Section along with a request for increased funding as required. This application will then be evaluated and a decision will be communicated directly to the school authority.
