The roof of the community school in question has been surveyed by the health and safety unit of the Office of Public Works which manages the asbestos remediation programme on behalf of my Department and the presence of asbestos has been confirmed.

The Office of Public Works has been authorised to carry out all necessary roof works to the school in question. It is not possible to release estimated costings for school building projects as its disclosure could prejudice the tender outcome and could result in financial loss to the Department.
