Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The school to which the Deputy refers was granted funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2017 to build one mainstream classroom with en-suite toilets, an Assisted User WC and three SET Rooms.

In July 2018, further grant approval was given to the school to build a two-classroom SEN Base. My Department received correspondence from the school seeking clarification about the approved scope of works on 16 January 2019. This clarification has recently been provided and the school has been given approval to proceed to the planning stage.
