Answer
In October 2017 the Department of Education and the Education Authority issued a Joint Call for minor works. Over 6,000 applications were received which included 209 applications from primary schools in East Londonderry and 98 from post primary.
33 applications from primary schools in East Londonderry and 15 from post primary have been approved to proceed or have been completed.
A significant number of emergency or unavoidable minor work applications have been progressed outside the Joint Call.
