Sinn Fein county councillor Gerry Murray has described as extraordinary the admission by the Government that it does not know how many schools across the State are using prefabs. Last week the Department of Education confirmed that it does not have a complete list of all primary and secondary schools using prefab buildings; it just has data collected from a sample survey of 900 schools. Shockingly there are more than 2,605 prefab units being used in the 900 schools surveyed.

The State's over-reliance on prefabricated classrooms was raised at this month's meeting of Westmeath Vocational Education Committee (WVEC), held this week in Castlepollard Community College.
