Expenditure by my Department on the purchase of prefabricated buildings in County Tipperary includes the supply and installation of prefabricated buildings, associated site works, and other costs such as compliance with planning permission conditions, professional fees, connections for water, electricity and sewage.

The above data excludes any expenditure on the renting of prefabricated buildings which cannot be extracted on a county basis from the national total.

Expenditure at national level from 1997 to date in 2005 on prefabricated buildings, including expenditure on the renting of temporary accommodation most of which would be for prefabricated buildings, is as follows:

Prefabricated Buildings Total Capital Expenditure plus rent of temporary accommodation Prefabricated as a % of total capital
â'¬m â'¬m %
Primary* 104.310 1,034.012 10
Post-Primary 31.136 1,083.174 2.87
Third-Level 15.543 904.460 1.72
TOTAL 150.989 3,021.646 4.99
