I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2018. This project will provide for four mainstream classrooms, two SET rooms and an Assisted User WC.

I can advise the Deputy that this project was approved to go to Construction in June 2020 and is currently onsite. My Department has not received any correspondence from the school to indicate that the project has been delayed by the current Covid-19 restrictions.
