John Brassil (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Pages 86 to 95 of the programme for Government commit to providing adequate educational facilities, particularly in our primary schools. I want to bring the Tánaiste's attention to a situation in a primary school in Rathmore, County Kerry. The new school was built approximately ten years ago. There is now a significant problem with the roof, which is leaking into the school's electrical system. The management is very concerned about this from a safety point of view. Approximately €200,000 is needed to fix the problem. The school cannot seem to qualify for the summer works scheme or the emergency works scheme. The school's insurance will not cover it and the authorities are at a loss as to how they will solve the problem. I would greatly appreciate the Tánaiste's intervention in resolving this very critical issue.
