As the Deputy will be aware, my Department approved significant devolved funding for the school in question to the relevant Education Training Board (ETB) to provide an ASD unit and 3 additional general classrooms.

My Department is liaising with the ETB, in question, who are currently in the process of obtaining planning permission and other statutory approvals for the project concerned. It is anticipated that when such approvals are obtained, the project can proceed to tender and construction.
