I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school in question has accepted the grant to build a new three-teacher school under the 2006 small schools scheme that I announced recently. The initiative operates on a devolved basis and allows boards of management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and allows them control over the pace at which building works proceed.
