The relevant ETB has submitted an application for additional accommodation on behalf of the school to which the Deputy refers.  This application is being assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority shortly.

The school to which the Deputy refers was approved a devolved grant under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2016 to provide 2 Resource Rooms.  This project was devolved to the School Authority for delivery.

The School Authority has recently submitted the tender report and supporting documentation.  The Department has requested further information and clarification on the project and once this has been assessed by my Department, the school will be notified of the outcome.
