A grant was sanctioned in March 2006 to enable the management authority of the school in question to extend and modernise their school.

The scheme allows Boards of Management to address their accommodation and building priorities with a guaranteed amount of funding and gives them control of the building project. The Board of Management submitted an appeal for additional funding to cover extra costs regarding the installation of a waste water treatment system which was successful.

I understand that construction will be starting shortly and the initial portion of the grant will then be paid to the school.
