TUI General Secretary welcomes the recall of sub-standard sanitation products; calls for replacements as a matter of urgency
In response to the announcement by the Department of Education and Skills that a range of 52 wipes, sprays and other sanitation products currently in use in schools is being withdrawn, the TUI General Secretary, Michael Gillespie stated:
“While we recognise and regret the disruption that this will cause, the TUI believes that recalling the products is the necessary and correct decision. The TUI called for a full standards audit of all the products that have been procured and we are pleased that the Department has acted on that call.”
“We must all do everything possible to protect the health and safety of all in the school community and, therefore, the use of defective or sub-standard products must be eliminated. We want real security, not the illusion of security, for our members, their students and their families.”
“We would urge the Department to ensure that replacement products of the required high standard are supplied to schools as a matter of urgency so that school opening can be sustained,” he added.
“Cutting corners or skimping on costs is false economy,” he concluded.
