Question:

232 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Education if she will give a list of the schools in the primary sector which are operating under the auspices of the Office of Public Works and for which the Office of Public Works is responsible for maintenance and related matters; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

A decision was taken in 1988 to transfer to my Department responsibilities in relation to national school premises which were formerly exercised by the Office of Public Works. This included responsibility for the maintenance of nine model schools and of the balance of the schools originally vested in the Minister for Finance and in the Commissioners of National Education. The responsibility for the maintenance of some of these schools has been assumed by the local school authorities in return for full capitation grant. As of September 1992, responsibility for maintenance of 46 schools as listed below remained with my Department.
