The school referred to by the Deputy was allocated a devolved grant in June 2009 to replace two prefab classrooms and a resource room. The grant was increased in November 2009 to allow for the provision of two additional mainstream classrooms. The school management authorities were advised that they could utilise this grant to purchase prefab accommodation or to build a permanent structure. I understand that the school authorities have decided to provide a permanent structure. The school authorities have informed my Department that construction is due to commence in November of this year.
