Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 June 2012
185 Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Education and Skills if pre-fabricated accommodation at a school (details supplied) will be replaced with permanent accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26870/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe school referred to by the Deputy was recently assessed for replacement of prefabs with a permanent structure under my Department's new Rented Prefab Replacement Scheme. Enrolments at the school have declined by 15% over the past 5 years and by 6% between 2010 and 2011. As a result of falling enrolments, the long term need for the prefab is uncertain and a permanent build option was eliminated on this basis. Should the school's enrolment increase, the matter can be reviewed again.
