The government has spent €1.3 billion on modular buildings for schools in the past five years. 

One TD told the Public Accounts Committee that these modular prefabs, were not conducive to teaching or learning, that they were "a blight on communities across this country” and should not be seen as a permanent solution to classroom space.

John Boyle, the Irish National Teachers Organisation General Secretary and Eoin Dolan, Principal of Mother of Divine Grace National School in Finglas joined Ciara and Shane to discuss their function.
