I thank the Senator. She has made a compelling case in advocating on behalf of Coolmine Community School and the students, teachers and staff who have to deal with this on a daily basis. I will take all the information that she has presented back to the Minister, Deputy Foley.

As we move into the winter months, it is obvious that this case is exceptional. There is a need to rectify the situation on the basis that we will have inclement weather conditions over the next number of months. I have no doubt that if the school provides additional information, the Department will look at and may review the appeal under the EWS on the basis of that information.
