Responsibility for meeting fire safety requirements in national schools rests with the school authorities themselves. In the case referred to by the Deputy, my Department, on 13 December 1984 on the recommendation of the Commissioners of Public Works, sanctioned a grant towards the cost of providing a fire escape and a fire alarm at the school. It is a matter for the school authorities to arrange for the execution of these works.
