The inspectorate conducted a total of 2,146 inspection or advisory visits to primary and post-primary schools in 2012 (probationary teacher inspections not included). Details of the breakdown of these visits, by county, are provided in the table below.
Details of inspections conducted at the request of the planning and building unit in the period are not readily to hand but will be compiled and provided to the Deputy as soon as possible. It should be noted that when inspectors identify serious shortcomings in relation to school facilities in the course of their general inspection work these matters are raised with the school authorities and brought to the attention of the planning and building unit.
