I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme.
The project will provide the following accommodation at the school: 1 Classroom SEN base & 2 Mainstream classrooms as outlined in the project brief. This project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority.
I wish to confirm that additional capital funding is being provided to the Department to address capital funding pressures. This will facilitate the progression of school building projects including this project to proceed to construction in due course.
Officials in my Department will be in contact with the school Board of Management shortly in relation to the formal arrangements and next steps in respect of same.
