Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy Refers was sanctioned a devolved grant under my Departments Additional Accommodation Scheme 2015 to provide 1 mainstream classroom, 1 WC for assisted users and 3 resource rooms.
Following a request for additional funding in September, 2016, my Department increased the grant allocation for the approved works in line with current building costs.
A further request for additional funding has been submitted to my Department. This request is being examined and my Department will revert to the School Authority directly once a decision has been made.
