Question 131: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason payments are being delayed to those who provide school accommodation such as prefabs and so on for purchase, lease or rent; and when overdue payments will be made to a company (details attached) in County Kilkenny. [31736/07]

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Department provides grant aid to school authorities towards the cost of rented temporary school accommodation. In general, the Board of Management of a school is responsible for acquiring temporary accommodation, including procurement of prefabricated buildings. Accordingly the contract is between a school's Board of Management and a supplying contractor and any enquiries regarding overdue payments should be made directly to the relevant Boards of Management.
