The School to which the Deputy refers was granted funding to provide one mainstream classroom and a two classroom special education needs (SEN) base under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme (ASA). The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority.
Officials in my Department frequently engage with Cavan Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB), who are assisting on this project. My Department is awaiting an updated cost plan from the School Authority's Design Team. The Department understands that the flood risk assessment has already been completed and is currently awaiting its findings. Following receipt of the cost plan and flood risk assessment report, my Department's officials will review the project and will be in contact with CMETB at that stage.
