Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): My Department recently received correspondence from the school to which the Deputy refers in relation to their insurer's demands for increased security measures. My Department has appointed a consultant to assess the security requirements in the school, based on the insurer's demands, and to submit a report, including costings, for the work required to be carried out.
