The school referred to by the Deputy was allocated a grant in June 2016 to assist with the provision of a walkway which is being part funded by two other parties. The school authority have since sought additional funding from my Department in respect of consultant fees for the project.

My Department’s Planning and Building Unit requested additional information in March and as soon as this information is received and considered the school authority will be informed of the outcome.

The major school building project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning - Stage 2(b). All statutory approvals have been secured.

However, following the necessary appointment of a replacement Mechanical & Electrical Engineer the Design Team in association with the newly appointed Engineer are working on a revised M&E report which will be submitted to the Department when it is completed. My Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.
