Questions (283)

Niall Collins

Question:

283. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will provide, in tabular form, by county, the number of temporary accommodation and prefabricated-type classroom structures purchased and leased by her Department for post primary schools, in each year from 2011 to 2014 and in 2015 to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29423/15]

Written answers

The total number of prefab units that have been rented/purchased by county each year since 2011, is set out for the Deputy's attention. It should be noted that a prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation.

As the Deputy may be aware since July 2008, it is 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.
