The school to which the Deputy refers was recently given approval to install temporary accommodation to facilitate the school's expansion. A letter devolving authority for the installation of this accommodation to the Board of Management has issued to the school.

The letter indicated that where a Board of Management finds it necessary to engage the services of a consultant, the Department is prepared to reimburse the cost of the fees incurred at the rate of 100% where the fees are considered by the Department to be fair and reasonable.
