Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

That depends. If one is buying or renting a very modern prefab, the standards can be very good in terms of the general heating and general issues around energy usage. At the same time, the standards we have for new build of schools is very high and we are at the leading edge in terms of some of those standards, in terms of energy efficiency and so on.
