As the Deputy is aware works carried out under my Department's Summer Work Schemes are devolved to individual Board of Management and the issues referred to by the Deputy should be raised with the school management authority concerned in the first instance.

If there are individual cases where there is concern that Heath and Safety regulations has not been complied with, these cases should be brought to the attention of the Health and Safety Authority immediately who are responsible for ensuring that current regulation in relation to health and safety are adhered to. My Department would also welcome details of these cases.
