I can confirm that the school in question submitted an application for capital funding under my Department's multi-annual Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2020 onwards for Windows (Category 7).

In late 2019, the details of the schools that will receive funding in Summer 2020 in respect of applications submitted for "Life Safety Systems projects" (Category 1) were announced.

Commensurate with the level of funding set aside for the Scheme, remaining applications are being assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the Scheme. In this regard, applications submitted for other works/categories will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.

A potential site option has been identified and discussions with the landowner are at an advanced stage with a view to acquiring this site.

Due to the commercially sensitive nature of site acquisitions generally, it is not possible to comment further at this stage.
