The application for a major capital project from the school in question is currently being examined in the school planning section of my Department. The position in regard to the school's application for funding of the smaller project already undertaken is that the works concerned were progressed by the school without the prior agreement of my Department. It is not my Department's policy to sanction retrospective funding for any project progressed by a school authority without my Department's prior approval.
