Madam, - Taxpayers who are funding Mr Noel Dempsey's survey of the exact dates of recent primary school holidays might wish him to add a few extra little boxes to discover how many schools have: leaking roofs; rat infestation; a water supply in each classroom; dangerous electric fittings; heating systems capable of producing minimum required temperatures. - Yours, etc.,
ANNE CAHILL,
