As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works, a grant of €250,000 was sanctioned to enable the management authorities of the school in question to provide additional permanent accommodation.

The initiative allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives boards of management control of the building project.

It is my understanding that the board of management has made an application for planning permission recently and expects that the project will be on site by March 2006.

My Department has no request for any further facilities for this school.
