Angry councillors demand to know numbers taught in prefabs

ANGRY county councillors are demanding that the Department of Education reveal how many children are being educated in prefabricated buildings in Cork.

They are also predicting that substandard accommodation could become a major issue in the local elections, and that it will hurt Fianna Fáil.

The local authority is writing a formal letter to the department seeking the information, amid concern that there could be hundreds, if not thousands of children, being educated in archaic conditions in the county.
