The school to which the Deputy refers was granted funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2015 to provide 1 Classroom Special Needs Unit & 2 80m2 Mainstream Classrooms with en-suite toilets & WC for assisted users.

This project was approved to construction in December 2021 and has been devolved to the School Authority for delivery. The Department has been in regular contact with the school and its appointed consultant throughout the course of the works on-site and has been advised recently that the project is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
