Generally speaking the Department in assessing applications for building projects under the mainstream building programme would as a matter of course conduct a technical inspection of the building and the site involved in order to determine how best to provide for the school's accommodation needs into the future.
Of the 142 projects announced since January 2006 to enter into architectural planning and which require a site visit, there are 19 schools awaiting inspections with dates for a further 21 having been arranged with the school authorities.
