The management authority of the school referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme for the provision of new temporary accommodation and to have works carried to facilitate the enrolment of a special needs pupil. As the provision of additional accommodation is outside the terms of the Emergency Works Scheme it cannot be considered for funding.

However, the school authority has been advised to submit a revised application for funding to facilitate the enrolment of the special needs pupil only and as soon as this application is received it will be assessed and the school authority advised of the outcome.
