I propose to take Questions Nos. 76 and 89 together.
The Deputy will appreciate that the priority over the mid-term break was to ensure that the structural assessments were conducted on the schools built by the company referred to by the Deputy, and any precautionary measures implemented, to facilitate safe reoccupation of schools this week.
Precautionary measures to address structural issues were implemented by Sunday, 4 November. This involved a significant logistical exercise across the various schools.
Further detailed structural investigations will be required to determine the nature and scale of the permanent remediation works required across the schools in question.
The cost of these works is therefore not yet available.
