Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved a devolved grant under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2012 to provide 5 general classrooms, to relocate existing ball courts and to provide a set down and bus drop off area for pupils. This project was devolved to the local Education and Training Board for delivery.
Following the tendering process, a number of issues were identified by my Department and the ETB was instructed to re-tender the project in accordance with my Department's guidelines.
The ETB has recently submitted the revised tender report and supporting documentation. Once this has been assessed by my Department the ETB will be notified of the outcome.
