An application was received from Magic Years, Beechlawn under the Private Extension strand of the Building Blocks Extension Grant Scheme.
The service was successful in its progression to next stage, which involves the completion of a legal framework, and includes the signing of a Grant Agreement.
While the Department can appreciate the service is anxious to commence projects works, it is a condition of the scheme that all contracting requirements and pre-payment conditions must be met in advance of any works commencing.
I understand that this matter is being progressed by the Chief States Solicitors Office.
