I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied to my Department for funding to replace a prefabricated structure.
As the Deputy may be aware, over the lifetime of my Department's new six-year capital programme (2012-2016), the intention is to replace all purchased prefabs with permanent accommodation where the need is established. My Department will be putting a structured plan in place to achieve this. The needs of the school in question can be considered under this plan when it is rolled out.
