School forced to spend €80,000 on prefabs as funding delay hits building plans

A CLARE school has spent €80,000 on prefab classrooms because no progress is being made on a long-awaited new building.

The 706-pupil Ennis National School received money from the Department of Education last year to stop dampness caused by continuous leaking from its 1970s flat-roof design.

But, according to principal Garry Stack, children and teachers in the main building are experiencing ongoing damp conditions.
