What’s so fabulous about village school Portakabins?

AS a teacher in Scoil Bhríde, Rathcormac, Co Cork, and a long-time Fianna Fáil voter I would like to express my outrage at Deputy Ned O’Keeffe’s comments regarding our proposed new school (July 4).

For a man of his professional status to be so glib and pass-remarkable about the state of children’s education is quite extraordinary.

Our “fabulous Portakabins”, as he put it so succinctly, are certainly not so. They are disgusting, damp, cramped hollow shells void of any true school-like features. Why exactly does he regard them as fabulous? I don’t recall him visiting them?
