The school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for funding for the provision of a General Purpose Room (GP), or alternatively to convert two of the existing classrooms into a GP Room and then build two additional classrooms.

The position is that given the current financial constraints within which the Department is operating, priority is being given to applications for essential mainstream classroom accommodation. In this context, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project.
