The project to which the Deputy refers was approved a project under the Additional School Accommodation scheme for the provision of one Mainstream Classroom.
The school authority were notified of this approval and agreed to adhere to the mandatory procedures and requirements for each stage of the architectural process in order to ensure the project meets my Department’s published standards in design, planning and funding. Unfortunately, these requirements were not adhered to in this instance.
My Department is engaging with the school authority and patron in order to resolve this critical issue as part of its assessment of the project and will advise the school authority shortly on the outcome of this review.
