I am saying this to the Leader because we need an informed debate. The only information the Department of Education and Science can give us is this 100-page file of 900 schools which, between them, have 2,700 prefabricated classrooms. That is only a fraction of the number of schools out there. The Department does not know where the €100 million it has invested in prefabricated classrooms over the past three years has gone. It has no idea which schools are involved and it does not even know the list of schools in the school building programme on a county-by-county basis. How can we make an informed decision on the direction in which this country needs to go when the Minister for Education and Science and the Minister for Finance do not know the figures?
