Kfm recently highlighted how some primary school pupils at Mercy Convent Primary School in Naas have completed their full education in a modular building, despite being told they would only be there for 15 months.
The Government has spent more than €86 million on hiring prefabricated classrooms for schools over the past three years, with Kildare among the counties where expenditure exceeded €1 million last year.
Figures from the Department of Education reveal that spending on temporary school accommodation has averaged at around €29 million annually since 2020.
That's despite the department's commitment to reducing reliance on prefabs and investing in permanent school buildings.
The figure for last year was €28.8 million and covered the cost of prefabs at 440 different schools across the country.
Kildare was among several counties where more than €1 million was spent on prefabs last year.
