Minister for Education

I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 together.

In 2006/07 a major project was carried out at the school referred to by the Deputy, the project reached substantial completion in June 2008.

My Department is aware that there are issues with Pyrite in the school and my Department has provided funding under the Emergency Works Scheme to repair damage to floors and their surrounds caused by Pyrite. It remains open to the school to submit further applications to alleviate any Health and Safety issues caused by pyrite.

Department officials are currently coordinating a date to meet with the school authorities in an effort to get the issues raised resolved, they will be in further contact with the school in due course.

Question No. 194 answered with Question No. 193.
