Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

The attention of my Department has been drawn to the threatened closure of Richmond school, Crossmolina, County Mayo. My Department's technical advisers have been requested to provide a report on the water supply and the electrical-heating systems. On receipt of these reports, my Department will be in touch with the school authorities in the matter.
