The approval of additional classrooms for Scoil Aonghusa in Cashel has been welcomed by Deputy Michael Murphy.
"Since I was first elected, the expansion of Scoil Aonghusa Cashel has been a key priority of mine," said the Fine Gael Deputy.
"Over recent months I have been working very closely with the Principal of this centre of excellence and the Minister for Education, Helen McEntee.
"I'm delighted to announce that approval has been given for the delivery of a complete modular build of 14 classrooms with facilities to meet the accommodation crisis at Scoil Aonghusa.
"The school has been waiting since 2015 for this announcement, with the current situation having enormous implications on the 150 students that attend the school. Discussions are ongoing in relation to increasing the number of classrooms approved to 18, something I raised directly with the Minister this morning.
"I want to pay tribute to the Principal and her amazing team, the management, teachers, SNAs, ancillary support staff and everybody associated with this centre of special educational excellence.
"Scoil Aonghusa is not just a physical building but such a positive environment in which these amazing young students can grow and learn, and reach their maximum potential.
"I also want to acknowledge my colleague, Cllr Declan Burgess, with whom I’m working closely on this project. 
"I welcome the commitment given to me this morning by the Minister to visit both schools in Cashel at the earliest opportunity," Deputy Murphy added.
