In 2014, following a fire safety audit commissioned by the school authority, issues emerged with regard to Rush/Lusk Educate Together National School. This building was constructed by Western Building Systems Ltd. in 2008. In the case of this school a subsequent detailed fire safety assessment, commissioned by the Department, identified remedial works which were required. These works were carried out by the Department in the summer of 2014.
Details regarding the other schools designed and built by Western Building Systems Ltd are contained in the following listing.
The Department is currently arranging fire safety assessments of five other schools constructed in 2008 to determine if there are any issues of concern. Without pre-empting the outcome of those assessments, I can assure the Deputy that funding will be available to deal with any fire safety issues which might arise.
Pending the outcome of those assessments, it would be inappropriate for the Department to comment on what course of action may be considered regarding responsibility for any issues which might arise.
The school communities concerned will, however, be kept fully informed by the Department of any issues which may be identified.
