Plans to tell parents about potential school flaws delayed


Engineers and Department of Education officials are today reviewing structural reports from schools built by Western Building Systems.
They’ll be advising if any work is needed to make the buildings safe.
Letterkenny Educate Together is one of the schools which is being assessed.
For parents, students and teachers around the country, the anxious wait continues today.
Tests were completed yesterday on the dozens of schools nationwide that were built by Western Building Systems.
The Education Minister says any further problems will be quickly identified and communicated to schools by tomorrow.
The review was ordered after three Dublin schools built by the company were forced to close, due to structural faults.
Parts of those schools will re-open on Monday, but some students will have to be accommodated at nearby schools until the buildings are completely safe.
