Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 September 2009
1176 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount he has paid or will pay out for rental on prefabricated units for post-primary schools in County Laois during the period 1 June to 31 August 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30474/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraAccording to my Department's records, only one post-primary school received rental grant-aid for the period 1st June to 31st August, 2009 in Co. Laois. The amount paid for this period was €31,432. This school ceased renting temporary prefabricated accommodation on 31st August, 2009. Currently there are no post-primary schools renting temporary accommodation in Co. Laois.
1177 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount he has paid out or will pay out for rental on prefabricated units for primary schools in County Laois during the period 1 July to 31 August 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30475/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department grant aids school authorities for appropriate costs associated with rental of temporary accommodation. Payment of the annual rental cost is generally made to schools in advance and in two instalments, i.e. January-June and July-December where rental is continuing or up to the expected date of cessation if for a shorter period.
It should be noted that it would not be feasible or cost effective to remove rented prefabricated accommodation for the summer holiday period where that accommodation would be required to be replaced for the new school year. Notwithstanding, it is anticipated that the total rental cost for prefabricated accommodation in Co. Laois will be in the region of €650,000 for the 2009 year. On this basis, rental for the period 1st July to 31st August 2009 could be estimated at around €108,000.
A review of rental policy is ongoing which, inter alia, is examining contract terms to incorporate buy out, buy back, rental costs and relocation options if local circumstances require it. Another strand of the review, which is well under way, is an investigation of all existing rental contracts between schools and suppliers with a view to identifying action to reduce overall rental costs for the Department.
In the meantime, schools proposing to rent temporary accommodation must seek competitive quotes from suppliers which should allow them to take advantage of changing market prices.
1178 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Science the average monthly cost of each prefab rented for schools in County Laois in 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30476/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails held by my Department on schools renting prefabricated accommodation in Co Laois indicate that the average cost for rental of one prefab unit is €1,190 per month. As the Deputy will appreciate the cost per unit will vary depending on the size, type and age of each unit.
1179 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of prefabs being rented for schools in County Laois in tabular form; the schools which are availing of rented prefabs; the number of prefabs allocated to each school in question; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30477/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI attach a table listing all primary schools currently renting temporary accommodation in Co. Laois. The Deputy will note from the table that there are currently 46 prefab units being rented by 20 primary schools in Co. Laois.
