Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

My Department is providing assistance to the school in question. Where interim remedial works were deemed necessary, these have been undertaken. The school Board of Management has engaged consultants to scope the extent of the remedial works necessary to eradicate the pyrite issue. Once the extent of the works is known, arrangements will then be put in place to have the remedial works done.
