Since 2012 my Department has awarded two contracts to the company referred to by the Deputy with a combined value of €1,745,373. In addition to the above a number of school authorities may be renting temporary accommodation from this company. Generally, where schools require temporary accommodation, the school authority is responsible for acquiring this accommodation and the rental contract is between the school authority and the supplying contractor. As the rental grant-aid is devolved to schools, my Department does not hold records of all contracts held by school authorities for rental of temporary accommodation.
