The school referred to by the Deputy was tested for radon in 2000 under my Department's remediation programme and the levels were negligible with readings below 100 Bq/m3 in all rooms. The radon reference set for the workplace under the "Radiological Protection Act, 1991 ((Ionising Radiation) Order, 2000" (Statutory Instrument 125 of 2000)) is 400 Bq/m3.
