Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
373. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Skills the cost incurred in addressing defects in each of the 42 schools built by a company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45944/18]
View answerThe Department's priority has been the implementation of precautionary measures to facilitate safe reoccupation of schools this week. Following structural assessments, it was deemed that precautionary measures were required across 22 schools (with a further school building, Phase 1 of Ardgillan Community College, remaining closed).
Further detailed structural investigations will be required to determine the nature and scale of the permanent remediation works required across all schools.
The cost of these works is therefore not yet available.
