I can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question has been granted funding through my Department's Additional Schools Accommodation (ASA) Scheme to establish a special educational needs base with one classroom.
The project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority. A Stage 3 (tender report) has been received by my Department which is currently being reviewed. All projects, including this one, will undergo the necessary due diligence outlined in the Public Infrastructure Guidelines. Managing timing, scope, and cost is crucial to staying within budgetary limits for the overall ASA program.
Upon completion of this review process, my Department officials will communicate with the school authority regarding the next steps to advance this significant project. As outlined in the article this authorisation may be given over the course of 2024 and early 2025.
