Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2015
486. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide a list of the schools in County Galway using prefabricated units; the number of prefabricated units per school; the number of prefabricated units that have been replaced, by school; her plans to alleviate the problems with prefabricated units; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8984/15]
View answerDetails of primary and post primary schools in Co Galway that have rented prefab accommodation, together with the number of rented units, are contained in the following table. Please note that a prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation. Schools whose major projects are being progressed under my Department's 5-Year capital programme and schools included in the Prefab Replacement Initiatives are highlighted on the attached document.
13 schools in Co Galway were invited to participate in my Department's Prefab Replacement Initiatives with an allocation of €2.9m. To date 7 school authorities have successfully completed their projects, 1 school authority has withdrawn and the remainder are expected on site shortly. The total amount of grant aid issued to date is in excess of €1.3m. Details of all schools included in the Prefab Replacement Initiatives is available on my Department's website.
My Department's over-riding objective is to ensure that every child has access to a physical school place and that our school system is in a position to cope with increasing pupil numbers. To ensure that this is achieved, the delivery of major school projects to meet significant demographic demands nationally will be the main focus for capital investment in schools in the coming years.
