I propose to take Questions Nos. 113, 122 and 133 together.

My Department approved a devolved grant to the school referred to by the Deputy to construct a resource teaching room. The school subsequently sought additional funding and permission to increase the scope of the works beyond that approved. My Department sought additional information from the school authorities and this has now been submitted. My Department is currently liaising with the school authorities relating to the matter.
