Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation Provision (7 Mar 2019)

Thomas Byrne: Go raibh maith agat. I acknowledge and do not disagree with anything the Minister said. He is correct that these concerns were raised last year by principals. They were also raised with me and I raised them privately with the then Minister, Deputy Bruton, but nothing materialised.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (6 Mar 2019)

Thomas Byrne: The Minister has made a quite shocking admission that some of these schools will not be fully remediated or investigated until 2020. That is extremely worrying and concerning.

I certainly do not blame the Department for the damage...

That is what we are here for. It is not acceptable that the Minister thought the issue would go away and that he continues to build schools under that programme. The issues identified in the schools are extremely...
