My Department initiated a programme of fire safety assessments in 55 schools in Q4 2017. This involved 30 schools constructed by the company referred to by Deputy under Design and Build contracts and a representative sample of 25 other schools constructed over the last 20 years.

Fire Safety Consultants have visited all 55 schools and to date 51 initial Fire Safety Assessment reports have been received in my Department with the remaining 4 reports, 2 of which are for the company in question, due in the coming weeks.
