Mr. Eamonn Cusack:

Deputy Mitchell mentioned the availability of drinking water in schools. As part of any school project at primary school level, a drinking water tap is provided in every classroom in a school and also at various different locations such as the general purpose, GP, room, servery and so on. In post-primary schools drinking water is provided in the sinks in some of the meeting rooms and drinking fountains are provided around the school. There is at least one for every 150 pupils up to a maximum of six points within the school and up to a maximum of four points outside the school.
