The school in question has been allocated a grant for Fire Safety and Central Heating Upgrade under the Emergency Works Grant. The Department is satisfied that the grant provided is sufficient to address the urgent requirements at the school. It is open to the School Authority to apply under the next round of Summer Works Grants for funding to undertake further works to the school.

I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers recently wrote to my Department seeking a devolved grant to provide additional accommodation at the school as an alternative to their application for major capital funding. The application is currently being considered by officials in my Department in the context of the Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme and the competing demands on my Department's capital budget and a decision on the matter will be conveyed to the school authority in due course.
