As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works a grant of €200,000 was sanctioned to enable the management authorities of the school in question to provide additional accommodation.
The initiative allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them control of the building project.
It is my understanding that the interim grant of planning permission has been received and that fire safety certificate and tenders will now be sought. The board of management of the school in question expects that the project will not be on site within the specified timeframe and my Department has agreed to extend this timeframe to the end of March 2005.
