There are currently 236 prefab units being rented in primary and post-primary schools in Cork City and County. It should be noted that a single prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation. The annual rental cost for these units is €3m.

My Department approved the rental of seven prefab units in Cork City and County to date in 2010 while rental contracts ended in respect 5 prefab units during the same period.
