254. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the total number of temporary or prefabricated school buildings at primary and second level currently in use and likely to be replaced in the next two years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42452/13]
View answerA list of Primary and Post Primary Schools currently renting temporary accommodation on a county by county basis, is attached for the Deputy's attention. Schools that are included on my Department's 5 Year Capital Programme, Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programme and Prefabs Replacement Initiatives are highlighted as these will have their temporary accommodation replaced with permanent buildings. Please note that one prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation.
Historical information in relation to schools operating in purchased prefabs is not readily available.
The table is available as attachment Q254.xls at the top of the web page.
