Ceist:333 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in filling the vacant post of senior inspector in his Department's building unit; the way in which building schedules are being organised in the absence of the senior inspector; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a serious backlog of work has arisen due to this delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
