As the Deputy is aware, my Department approved funding in respect of a Category 3 application, mechanical works, under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS)(2016-2017) from the school to which he refers, with the school advised of the decision through my Department's on-line Esinet portal.

The school has recently submitted a request to my Department seeking to redirect the funding approved towards an alternative priority project, subsequently identified. Additional information and costings in respect of the proposed alternative project has been requested from the school and, once received, the request will be considered further by my Department.
