Letterkenny Educate Together given all clear after structural checks

Letterkenny Educate Together has been given the all clear following a structural assessment.
Education Minister Joe McHugh has stated that the school is cleared to open in full after the midterm break without any internal or external intervention.
The newly-opened national school was the only school in the county which was part of the inspections.
Just 11 out of 42 schools built by Western Building Systems have so far been given the all clear.
A decision on the final 13 schools is expected later today.
So far, Engineers have decided that 11 schools built by WBS won’t need any intervention, while 14 other schools will need external safety measures before they can re-open next week.
Decisions on a further 13 schools are expected later today after a full analysis of structural reports.
The Department’s confirmed that Students at Ardgillan Community College will take their classes in Phase 2 of the building – but Phase 1 will remain closed due to structural issues.
Ground floor classrooms in three national schools in Tyrellstown and Lucan will re-open, while arrangements are being made to bus children who can’t be accommodated to other schools.
WBS says no details of the buiding assessments have been shared with them – and its says it’s ‘troubling on a wider scale’ that schools certified by the Department, now require remedial works.
