As part of my Department's large scale school building programme, prefab accommodation continues to be replaced with permanent structures on an on-going basis. Details of all schools on the 5 year capital programme is available on the Department's website. Under my Department's Prefab Replacement Initiatives announced in 2012 and 2013 approval was given to 216 schools to replace 614 prefab units with permanent accommodation. To date 146 schools have completed their projects with a further 19 currently on site.
