Some €15.6m was spent on renting prefab accommodation at primary level in 2013. €20.35m has been allocated in 2014 to cover the rental of temporary accommodation at primary and post-primary level, including – but not limited to - prefabricated accommodation. While the overall allocation for the Department's Vote in 2015 has now been decided upon, the breakdown of the specific subhead allocations will not be finalised until the 2015 Revised Estimates Volume is published.
As the Deputy is aware my Department's over-riding objective is to ensure that every child has access to a physical school place and that our school system is in a position to cope with increasing pupil numbers. To ensure that this is achieved, the delivery of major school projects to meet significant demographic demands nationally will be the main focus for capital investment in schools in the coming years.
However, even despite the enormous financial challenges which have been faced in recent years, two iterations of the Prefab Replacement Scheme were funded by my predecessor. Under the Prefab Replacement Initiative 2012 and 2013 approval was given to 217 schools (209 primary and 8 post-primary) to replace 614 prefab units with permanent accommodation. In excess of €56m has been allocated to these initiatives.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 to 188, inclusive, together.
Details of Primary and Post Primary schools in counties Galway and Roscommon that have rented prefab accommodation, together with the number of rented units and annual rental cost is attached for the Deputy's attention. There are currently no schools in Leitrim renting prefab accommodation being funded by my Department.
Please note that a prefab unit may consist of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation. Schools whose major projects are being progressed under my Department's 5-Year Programme and schools on the Prefab Replacement Initiatives are highlighted on the table.
