- Other Questions: Housing Provision (27 Feb 2018)
John Curran: 45. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government his plans to accelerate the delivery of rapid build homes; the estimated number of rapid build homes that will be completed and occupied by the end of 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9689/18]
- Other Questions: Housing Provision (27 Feb 2018)
John Curran: Without being unkind, the Minister of State has missed the targets for the rapid build programme by a mile. Rebuilding Ireland is 18 months old. It clearly indicated that by the end of 2016 there would be delivery of 200 units, with a further 800 units in 2017. By the end of last year we would have expected approximately 1,000 units. The action plan status report indicates there were...

John Curran: The Government is still 800 units behind the predictions.

The school structure is simply not adequate to meet their needs. I refer to their movements around the school, the size of the corridors, the classrooms and the toilet facilities. 6 o’clock All of these...
- Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects Status (27 Feb 2018)
John Curran: As Deputy Ó Broin said, the Minister said on the last occasion that he would be sympathetic to the proposal that it should be fast-tracked if possible, in light of the particular circumstances of the school and the conditions. The physical structure is grossly inadequate to meet the daily needs of this group of 74 pupils. I agree with Deputy Ó Broin that the Minister should visit...
