Engagement with Trade Unions on Keeping Schools Open: Discussion
Mr. Michael Gillespie:
The Senator mentioned prefabs. Almost no two schools in the country are the same. Perhaps the more newly-built schools are similar. The TUI called, in its submission, for an audit of every school to see what is needed, what bespoke needs exist for every school because a one-size-fits-all approach may not work. We could increase investment in monitors and heat exchangers but there is no point unless we have well-insulated schools. The lack of investment is being shown up.
