Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Question 80: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if discussions have taken place with the Department of Finance on the use of public money on the hiring and renting of prefabricated classrooms for primary schools when the same income flow over 30 years would cover the cost of capital borrowing from either commercial financial institutions or would be cheaper if borrowed at Exchequer borrowing rates for the construction of a permanent building; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
