Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 December 2012
27. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Education and Skills his views on correspondence (details supplied); if there is any mechanism that the person can follow or investigate in seeking to resolve their problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54978/12]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware the prefab replacement initiative that I announced earlier this year is in the main to replace rented prefabs. Once these prefabs are no longer required by schools they are returned to the rental companies as the rented prefabs are their property. The following schools in Co. Kildare are currently in the process of replacing their rented prefabs: Scoil Na Mainistreach De La Salle, Kildare Town; St Peters BNS, Monasterevin; Two Mile House NS Straffan NS; St Laurences NS, Sallins; St Brigids Primary School, Kildare Town; St Mochua's NS, Rathcoffey.
The first four schools listed earlier are also replacing old purchased prefabs as part of the initiative and I suggest that the person referred to by the Deputy may wish to contact these schools directly in relation to their plans for the old purchased prefabs. The person in question may also wish to contact rental prefab suppliers to see if they would be willing to donate one of the rented prefabs once removed.
