As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works, a grant of €820,000 was sanctioned in March 2006 under the Small Schools Scheme to enable the management authority of the school in question to provide a new three classroom school.

The Devolved 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. I understand that the Board of Management have appointed a Consultant to progress the design stage of the project.

An official from my Department has been in contact with the school in question regarding additional works required to the school building. The school management has been advised to submit an application for funding for the works in question and when this is received in my Department, the matter will be given urgent consideration.
