The Deputy should be aware that design team fees on major school building projects are funded by my Department and not by the schools themselves.

School building projects currently in architectural planning and which could not be included in the 5 year programme will continue to be advanced incrementally over time within the context of the funding available. Where design team fees fall due in respect of progressing these projects to a tender ready stage, those fees will continue to be funded by my Department.
