Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 March 2017
129. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if there is a delay in the building project for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14290/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was sanctioned a devolved grant under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2014 to provide 2 mainstream classrooms, 1 WC for assisted users and 3 resource rooms.
In March, 2016, following a request for additional funding, my Department increased the grant allocation for the approved works.
A further request for additional funding has recently 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.
The funding allocated to the project to date remains committed and is not affected by the school's latest application for additional funding.
