As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for primary school building works, a grant of €440,000 was sanctioned in March 2005 to the management authority of the school in question to extend and refurbish their school. This was the rate of grant applicable to a four teacher school in 2005. The rate applicable to a four teacher school in 2004 was €350,000.
My Department is in liaison with the school in question regarding the delivery of the project under the terms of the devolved scheme.
