Earlier this month, funding was allocated for similar small capital projects at Inagh, Carron, Carrigaholt, Furglan and Clooney National Schools.

Mr Killeen said: "The approval of funding for such small scale capital projects is very positive news for the schools concerned as some had believed that the current economic downturn would have led to a subsequent decrease in Government spending in this area.

"In this regard, I wish the Clonmoney school authority every success with its project."
