The school to which the Deputy refers was sanctioned funding in November 2010 on a devolved basis to provide a 1 classroom Special Needs/Autistic Spectrum Disorder Unit. A once-off set up grant for this Unit was also approved.

The school authorities advised my Department in April 2011 that it expected the project to be completed within approximately six months of the project's commencement in June 2011. However, to date no funding has been drawn down for this project.

Contingency funding in the amount of €5,309 was approved in September 2010 in respect of pest control. This funding has been drawn down in full.
