My Department received an application for funding for replacement furniture from the school in question. This application has been considered for funding. However, in light of the competing demands on the available budget, it was not possible to approve funding to replace existing furniture at this time.

The Board of Management submitted an appeal against the decision and will be advised of the outcome as soon as possible.
