As part of the expansion of the devolved scheme for school building works, grant-aid of €275,000 was sanctioned in March 2006 to enable the management authorities of the school in question to extend and refurbish their school building. Construction work commenced at this school in early May of this year and 70% of the grant-aid has been paid to the school.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that only the standard local contribution will apply to the school building project in question. The increased cost of the project will not attract an additional local contribution.
