Department of Education brings case over alleged defects in Tyrrelstown 'rapid build' school

The Department of Education and Skills is suing a company over alleged defects in a €5m "rapid build" school which had to be closed for part of a term last year to allow temporary remedial works costing €1m to be carried out.

The Tyrrelstown Educate Together National School in west Dublin was one of two schools closed last year following safety inspections carried out on behalf of the Department. The other was Ardgillan Community College in Balbriggan, north Dublin.
