The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2018 to enable it to build three classrooms, one resource room, two standard WC and one WC for assisted users.

A Stage 1 submission was received in the Department which indicated there were site restrictions applicable to the project which in turn will lead to increased costs for its delivery. This submission is under review by officials in my Department in that context and we will revert with a response directly to the school when that review is completed.

The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included on the Department's Capital Programme to be delivered as part of the National Development Plan (NDP).

My Department is currently finalising the accommodation brief for the building project and was in contact with the school authority recently relating to the progression of the project to the next stage. My Department will be in further contact with the school authority in this regard.
