The School in question was approved a Devolved Grant for the provision of a mainstream classroom and a resource room in June 2010. My Department is aware of the difficulties being experienced by the school in relation to planning matters and understand that works are due to commence in early 2011. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the funding allocated for this project will be available in 2011.
