My Department's Planning and Building Unit has no record of any agreement to pay additional grant aid to the school in question.

In 2004 the school authority was allocated a devolved grant of €100,000 to enable it to provide a one classroom special needs unit at the school. This grant was subsequently increased to €281,000 to enable a second classroom to be provided and to cover extra costs associated with the delivery of the project.

The final payment in respect of this grant was made in October 2005.
