I thank Mr. Loftus. Returning to rental accommodation, we are all aware of the prefabs issue. Children throughout the country are sitting in prefabs that are older and not fit for purpose. There are also schools like Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire across the river from us in Parnell Square that have been in rental buildings for years. I considered this school for my own child. It is sited in a rental building that by all accounts falls well short of the quality that most of us would accept. This presents serious questions about the accessibility of school for students of different abilities. I asked earlier about comparative analysis and value for money. Does the Department consider any factors other than the financial cost, such as the quality of temporary accommodation?
