In September 2007 the school referred to by the Deputy was allocated a grant to provide one new mainstream classroom and two new resource rooms under the Department's Permanent Accommodation Scheme.

The management authority of the school recently contacted my Department's Building Unit requesting additional funding and also indicated that they wish to change the scope of works from what was originally approved.

The matter is currently being considered by my Department and the school authority will be notified of the decision as soon as possible.
