The school to which the Deputy refers was allocated funding to build a stand-alone classroom under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2014.
Extra funding was subsequently approved to enable the school authority to convert its GP room to a classroom while the classroom is being constructed. These conversion works were completed in December 2015.
The school more recently submitted an application for additional funding in respect of traffic management works. This was approved, in principle, subject to tender costs. The school authority was advised to submit a copy of the Tender Report for final approval. The Tender Report has now been received and is currently under review. The school will be advised of the Department's decision when this review has been completed.
