I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has three purchased temporary classrooms. One of these classrooms was installed in 2008 and should be in good condition. The remaining two classrooms were installed in 2001 and 2003 respectively. In relation to the latter two classrooms, the school was advised in September 2012 that it could submit an application, with appropriate supporting documentation, to have these considered for replacement. An application has not been received in my Department to date. The school also rents two further temporary classrooms under a lease arrangement. It is recommended that the school authorities ensure that the supplier(s) of these classrooms maintain them to an acceptable standard for school use.
