Tony Gregory

Question:

116 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Education if she will have arrangements made to have the allegation (details supplied) regarding the procedures in Trinity House investigated; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I am satisfied that there are adequate procedures in place to allow boys in Trinity House access to toilet facilities whenever required, including during night-time hours. My Department has been assured by the school's authorities that these procedures are being followed in every respect.

However, in view of the allegations referred to by the Deputy, I have instructed my Department to have the matter urgently investigated and I await the outcome.
