Has the Minister an estimate of the cost which will be borne by the Department even in the case of future legal proceedings? Does he propose to introduce a Supplementary Estimate to cover the cost of the works on the schools? We do not want a further disaster in terms of the existing building programme being further delayed due to the significant amount of remediation work involved. As the Minister is aware having visited them, the schools in my locality have been wrapped. A massive amount of work is being done on them.
