I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the school to which he refers was approved an all-in devolved grant in April 2010 to construct four mainstream classrooms, one to replace a prefab and the other three to provide additional classroom accommodation.

A condition of devolved funding is that the school authority must manage the project within the grant level approved. Any costs associated with additional works completed outside the level of grant aid approved must be borne by the school authority. A letter clarifying this recently issued to the school authority.

A suitable site has been identified which is in the ownership of Limerick County Council. My officials are in contact with the Council in relation to an agreed means of ownership/interest in the site. Once this acquisition is concluded, the proposed building project will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally.
