A table detailing the number of rented prefabs in Waterford for the years 2010 - 2013 is attached for the Deputy's attention. Please note that one prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation. Under my Department's Prefab Replacement Initiatives 2012 and 2013, approval was given to 216 schools nationally to replace 573 prefab units with permanent accommodation. Of these, 39 mainstream and resource units are currently being replaced with permanent classrooms in Waterford. Replacing prefabs is part of the Government's €475 million education infrastructure plan for 2014. The Plan will provide modern, high quality accommodation for pupils and teachers and construction related jobs for workers around the country.
