Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
805. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of prefabricated units which are no longer required by a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1133/16]
View answerGenerally my Department does not hold prefabs that are no longer required as a result of a permanent building being provided under the School Building Programme.
Under the Prefab Replacement Initiative rented prefabs are returned to the rental companies from whom they were rented. In the case of purchased prefabs, these are relocated to schools requiring additional accommodation, if in good condition, or demolished if deemed not suitable for further use.
In a small number of cases prefabs may be stored pending their relocation to a new school site.
