I appreciate the response but this must be resolved as a matter of urgency. Children have been displaced into other rooms and the library has been closed off completely. This is a huge hindrance to the entire school and all of the students. It affects everybody in the school. The Minister of State said the Department has advised the school to carry out a dry test but nobody going into that school needs to carry out a dry test. There are serious leaks in the building, the rooms are clearly leaking and it is obvious where the leaks are coming from. It is clear what is causing the problem and it needs to be fixed as a matter of urgency. The students in this school are particularly vulnerable and they need this space, including the soft play areas. It is unacceptable that the children in Enable Ireland Sandymount School have been left high and dry. It is clear what the issues are and the Department needs to just get on and do it.
