As the Deputy may be aware, the school referred to by the Deputy was granted funding under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2009 for a general toilet upgrade as per their application in that regard.

The school submitted a further application under SWS 2016-2017 for additional toilets plus a staff room and office. The SWS is designed to address small scale improvement works and not to provide additional accommodation.

In that regard, it is open to the school in question to apply to my Department for additional accommodation. The application form ASA (Additional School Accommodation) is available on the Departments website atwww.education.ie.
