I propose to take Questions Nos. 352, 358 and 359 together.

I will arrange to send a copy of the report in question to the Deputy. My Department's licence for parts of the inventory software has lapsed and it does not intend renewing this as the data gathered in relation to the condition of the school buildings has relevance for a relatively short number of years. However, floor layout plans and other drawing data gathered during the course of the pilot inventory are still largely relevant and continue to be used by the Department's Technical staff as appropriate. As the Deputy will be aware from a response to a previous PQ, arrangements are being made to conduct a survey of accommodation at primary and post-primary level which will establish the position relating to the extent of all accommodation. The specifications for this inventory are being finalised with a view to commencing the work at an early date.
