The school in question was allocated €484,000 in funding as part of the 2006 Small Schools Scheme. Additional funding was subsequently sanctioned in respect of unavoidable extra costs on project. The school was also allocated €270,039 under Summer Works Scheme 2007 to meet the cost of replacing the roof, windows and toilets in the existing building.

The school have sought further funding to cover the cost of building a GP room. As the provision of additional classroom accommodation/ refurbishment of existing accommodation is the main priority under the terms of Small Schools Scheme it is not open to my Department to approve additional funding to build a GP room.
