A school at the centre of Government legal fight after it was found to have significant structural defects is to be reopened. Ardgillan Community College in Dublin is now subject of a remediation plan and will take about two years to rebuild. The building company, now facing legal action from the Department of Education, said it will vigorously contest any litigation. A programme of work took place during the summer 2019 in relation to the 40 schools in which structural and fire safety deficiencies were identified. The department has confirmed about 40 million euro has been spent this year on the remediation programme, covering the cost of investigations, precautionary measures, fire safety upgrades and structural repairs.
