84. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in a situation where a school is approved for a grant for improvement works that requires planning permission, if the provision of the grant may be extended, if the planning permission process takes longer than envisaged; if discretion will be given in individual cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that where a school authority can clearly demonstrate that the planning permission process is delaying their project my Department will grant an extension of time provided the school authority is making every effort to address the issues delaying the granting of planning permission.
