My Department has no record of an application from the school to which the Deputy refers. However, it is open to the management authority to make an application for inclusion in the school building programme.

My Department is moving towards a model of devolving the responsibility for building projects to school management authorities where appropriate. The devolving of funding to local level will accommodate school authorities to take responsibility and ownership of their building projects and will assist in moving projects in a specific timeframe through the design process, to tender action and construction.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school in question has accepted a grant for the provision of three mainstream classrooms under the 2005 permanent initiative.
