Five Galway schools have decided to use grant aid for the purchase of temporary accommodation to build permanent classrooms instead.The schools are part of a pilot plan which allows them to use Department funds to build permanent buildings even though the money is earmarked for pre-fabs.The schools involved are Bawnmore National School, Claregalway, Scoil Náisiúta an Chroí Ró Naofa Tuam, Milltown National School, Scoil Mhuire, Athenry and Clonberne National School.The schools have chosen to build an 80 square metre permanent mainstream classroom, with Scoil Náisiúta an Chroí Ro Naofa and Scoil Mhuire also building resource rooms.
