The school in question received grant aid in 2007 to provide four resource rooms under my Department's Permanent Accommodation Scheme. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that construction works on the school have been completed recently.

The school to which the Deputy refers has provisional recognition from my Department. During this period, it is the responsibility of the Patron to provide accommodation.

However, my Department is aware of the accommodation issues at the school and, notwithstanding the Patron's responsibilities in this matter, my Department has been assisting the Patron in sourcing suitable, cost effective accommodation. A proposal was recently put by my Department to the Patron in this regard and it is hoped that this proposal can form the basis of an accommodation solution for the school.
