I can confirm to the Deputy, that the school in question has been approved capital funding in 2020, for additional accommodation under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA). This approval will provide for 1 additional mainstream classroom and 1 Special Education Teaching room. The current project brief was agreed with the school authority prior to initiation.

A grant for the school to which the Deputy refers was approved in 2015 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme. This grant was provided to enable the Board of Management to provide a mainstream classroom, three resource rooms and a WC for assisted users.

The project went to construction in 2017 and was completed in 2018. The full grant has been paid to the school.

My Department is not in receipt of any further requests from this school for enhanced provision.
