Ms Emma Leonard:

We are not aware of a specific problem at the Cork School of Music, but there is an assessment ongoing. We have applied deductions of €111,000 to the unitary charge payments laid on the NMCI. Therefore, we are getting money back because work shops have been unavailable as a result of the issues encountered. The current plan sees the work being completed by the summer. We have taken on our own structural engineers to review the position and make sure the work is done properly.
