Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 May 2015
904. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of prefabricated school building units that were funded for construction by her Department in both County Sligo and County Leitrim during the period between 2007 and 2015; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20632/15]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware since July 2008, it is my Department's policy to offer schools being approved for devolved grant aid for additional accommodation the option to use their capital grant aid to build a permanent classroom(s) rather than purchase a prefab.
Since then 66 primary and post-primary schools in Counties Leitrim and Sligo received funding to provide 108 additional classroom/resource/specialists rooms of which 13 were purchased prefabs.
