Figures released to the Dáil by the Education Minister show there are 41 prefabs currently in use in Clare schools.
That number has fallen from 55 just three years ago, when the government began an investment scheme in permanent accomodation.
Despite this, the state will still spend nearly 14 million euro this year on renting 934 prefabs throughout the country.
There's no county-by-county breakdown in terms of the rental payments, but the figures suggest that over 600 thousand euro of that money is being spent here in Clare.
