Question:

190 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Education if her Department has investigated claims that diesel oil from the central heating system serving Scoil Íde and Scoil Fhursa, Cromcastle Green, Dublin 5, is leaking into the sewerage system, leading to a smell in two classrooms; if so, if funding will be provided for a new heating system; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23249/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

My Department has been notified that this matter is being investigated by a contractor employed by the schools' boards of management. I understand this is covered by the school's insurance policy. The question of providing a new heating system will be looked at in the context of the funding to be made available in 1997 and the other contractual commitments on primary school projects.
