Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not hold information on the number of pupils in individual schools who currently occupy temporary accommodation. This depends on the organisation of class groups by schools within available accommodation and may vary from year.

My Department will compile the additional information requested and this will be furnished to the Deputy shortly.
