Provider's corrective action:

(d) Sunhouse room – 1 Elm Park building. 1. We sprayed the walls with anti mould spray, washed thoroughly, and applied one coat of anti mould paint together with two coats of silk emulsion paint. The reason for the dampness was due to being unable to waterproof the new roof fully because of the continuous rain over the last few months we were unable to get it dry enough to complete the fibreglass roof. We have now completed the roof with additional fibreglass and matting coating over the entire roof. This has been completed with 2 coats of top coat f ibreglass resin. We expect there will be no further problems with water ingress. 2. The wall has been thoroughly cleaned, sprayed, and painted with anti mould paint and emulsion finish. 3. The covers of the two fluorescent lights were removed and was cleaned thoroughly. One of the lights was replaced completely with a new fitting. 38 Maynooth road building. 4. Those holes were drilled for the new air conditioning units. The flexible ducting and exterior vents have now been fitted. The air conditioning units are now completed. As above we have completed the ducting and external air vents on the air conditioning units. There should be no further problems , and the air conditioning units assist in the rooms having a constant regulated temperature all year round
