Liam Burke

Question:

162 Mr. L. Burke asked the Minister for Education the cost to the Exchequer of the repair of vandalised schools in Cork city in 1994; the amount of school days lost through these occurrences; if vandalism to schools was more prevalent in certain sections of the city; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7442/95]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

Detailed statistical information is not available to my Department on the matters raised by the Deputy in regard to vandalism in Cork city schools in 1994. Security of school buildings is a matter for the individual school authorities in the first instance.
