The school in question was allocated grant aid for the provision of 2 mainstream classrooms in 2009. The school management authority was advised that they had the option to purchase prefabs or build a permanent structure and they opted to build a permanent structure.

The school authority recently sought additional funding for the provision of a new sewerage treatment and percolation area which is a result of a planning permission condition. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department has recently approved this additional funding.
