DAIL DEBATE Written Answers Nos. 466 - 478 DÁIL ÉIREANN
476. Mr. Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will make funding available to a school (details supplied) in County Cork to carry out urgent and essential structure works to underpin an old stone wall that is in danger of collapse; if her attention has been drawn to the seriousness of the situation; if she will absolve the board of management and trustees of liability if the funding is not immediately forthcoming and the wall falls; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that a health and safety officer has inspected the wall and expressed serious concern regarding its safety and that the school has had no alternative but to cordon off the area in question from staff and pupils; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31306/04]
Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin): The building unit of my Department is considering an application from the school in question for funding for this work. The school authorities will be notified of the outcome upon the completion of my Department's assessment of the documentation submitted.
