A major capital project delivering a new 8 classroom school was completed in 2006 for the school referred to by the Deputy. In 2007 the school in question received approval to build additional classrooms under the devolved Permanent Accommodation Scheme (PAS) and a grant on this basis was approved. The Board of Management was recently approved additional funding in relation to additional costs arising on the project. I understand that the project is ready to go to construction shortly.
