I have previously clarified for the Deputy that the Board of Management of the school in question has advised that the recommendations of the HSE report have been implemented in full. My Department remains in regular contact with the school and is satisfied that significant progress has been made in this regard.

The Deputy refers to the further report which was compiled subsequent to the HSE report and following a visit to the centre in question by an inspector and a psychologist from my Department. The Board of Management of the school to which the Deputy refers has been informed that a follow-up visit by officials from my Department will take place in the coming weeks. Since this visit is not a whole school type inspection, formal engagement with parents is not envisaged.

I will await the outcome of the planned visit before a decision on any further follow-up action, including updating the parents, is taken.
