Ceist:

273. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he expects to have approval granted to commence the construction of permanent buildings to replace the existing prefabricated units in a school (details supplied) in County Kerry, as the prefabs are in a seriously deteriorated condition and are a health and safety hazard; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Skills

The school, referred to by the Deputy, requested that consideration be given to the replacement of the school's temporary accommodation with a permanent structure. My Department has recently carried out a technical assessment and my officials will be in contact with the school authorities shortly.
