Answer
The scheme to replace the 3G pitch surface at Lisneal College will be funded from the Education Authority’s Other Capital/Minor Works budget for 2024/25 and 2025/26 financial years, as the project will span both financial years.
When an issue impacting on safety is uncovered in a school, irrespective of whether the school made an application, the Department and Education Authority will take action to deal with the problem following the appropriate assessments.
