Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2007
391 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science when a technical inspection report relating to a school (details supplied) in County Offaly will be available; the reason for the delay in publishing the report; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22568/07]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware of the significantly increased activity in the area of provision of additional school accommodation as a result of the recent demographic changes. In this context, the Department's technical unit have carried out a large number of technical inspections in order to progress new school building/extension projects to Design Team Appointment stage.
A technical inspection has been carried out in the school to which the Deputy refers and a report of this inspection is expected shortly. The Department will be in contact with the school's management authority as soon as the contents of the report have been considered.
