I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for additional accommodation comprising a resource room and staff accommodation. The application was assessed and I am pleased to advise you that the school were allocated funding for a resource room.

However in view of the need to prioritise available funding towards the provision of essential mainstream classrooms and special education rooms, my Department has advised the school concerned that it is not in a position to provide funding in respect of the staff accommodation at this time.
