An application for funding in relation to a temporary structure provided by Stepping Stones, Meath ABA School was recently the subject of an appeal in my Department. The appeals process is now finalised. An official from my Department's school building section recently met with members of Stepping Stones Meath ABA Limited to discuss the outcome. Further consideration is now required on behalf of Stepping Stones Meath ABA Limited and upon receipt of the required information the matter will be progressed further by my Department.
