The school referred to by the Deputy was approved under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme to provide a two classroom special educational needs base and one special education tuition room. The project is devolved for delivery to the school authority.

A Stage 2b architectural report was received by my department and is currently undergoing an intensive review from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code. All projects, including this one, will undergo the necessary due diligence outlined in the Public Infrastructure Guidelines. Managing timing, scope, and cost is crucial to staying within budgetary limits for the overall program.

Upon completion of this review process, Department officials will communicate with the school authority regarding the next steps to advance this important project.
