When the tender was done, one of the factors that saved money at the time was not having somebody on site to monitor the building. It is always harder to identify the faults that lie behind the walls once a building is completed. We need to focus on that particular aspect. Next week is the mid-term break in schools and assessments will be done and probably more information will become available after that. It might be useful to delay sending the letter until the end of next week as more information may have come into the Department, by which time it will have had sight of, or even a cursory glance over, the remaining schools that have to be examined.
