Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

My question is specifically on public liability. I want to draw the attention of the Minister of State to something which he might raise with the Minister for Education. It is specifically with regard to schools. I am aware of a particular school which typically pays €6,000 or €7,000 public liability insurance per annum. It has received three modular classrooms, which account for one quarter of the older school size. It is considerably smaller in terms of square footage but the public liability insurance quote for the three modular classrooms is €28,000. This is in comparison to €6,000 for the main building. I am not sure whether the Minister of State is aware of this issue but perhaps he could deal with the Minister for Education to see whether it is a prevalent issue with regard to public liability insurance specifically for schools.
