Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 January 2026
81. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Education and Youth whether a lease agreement is currently in place for the prefabs at a school (details supplied); the cost which has been incurred by her Department since their completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6980/26]
View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy is currently accommodated in a 16 Classroom prefabricated unit. These units were purchased by my department and as such do not require a lease agreement.
The school was very recently approved for the provision of two interim modular units. While these units are rented, the rental cost is commercially sensitive in the context of ongoing modular provision across the school estate from multiple suppliers.
As the Deputy is no doubt aware, the school was approved for a large scale major project which is currently at design stage of the architectural process. Details of all projects including their current status is available on the Department's website at, www.gov.ie and this information is updated regularly.
