Ms Maeve Foreman:

Again, it is hard to generalise because there are so many models. Some of the more established allotments on private or public land would see the allotment holder install his or her own shed. The provider of the land often provides water sources, with taps that people can access. People could also have rain barrels and if they have a shed, a rain barrel can operate off that. At Pearse College in Crumlin there are allotments on land that it owns and they have provided some storage facilities and communal composting facilities. That is perhaps a good model as the college gives over some of its land. I am not sure what is the cost of the allotments there. I think they vary from approximately €80 to €120 per year.
