Ceist:

170 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Education the cost of providing temporary accommodation in prefabs over the past number of years at Ballyhale vocational school, County Kilkenny; the length of time it is expected the prefabs will be needed; the projected cost of these prefabs; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12231/97]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

Temporary accommodation has been provided at Ballyhale vocational school, County Kilkenny since 1994 at a cost of £100,000 approximately. It is intended that construction of the second phase of the new school building will commence in the very near future. When this phase is completed the temporary accommodation will no longer be required.
