Written answers

The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to build a one classroom SEN Base.  This project is devolved to the Board of Management of the school.  

I can confirm that my Department has received a fees uplift request from the school pertaining to its Design Team. Numerous queries have issued from Department officials, to which there has not yet been an adequate response forthcoming.

A decision on the fees uplift will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as an adequate response to these queries has been received in the Department from the school via its Design Team.  It is the responsibility of the school and its Design Team to provide the Department with the information that remains outstanding.
