Green light for construction work at Tipp school

Primary education in the Borrisokane area is set to receive a very positive boost this week with confirmation that Kyle Park National School has received permission to proceed to construction for two brand-new Special Education Teaching (SET) classrooms.

It was confirmed by local TD Jackie Cahill that these building works are being provided for under the Additional Accommodation Scheme within the Department of Education. Deputy Cahill confirmed that, earlier today, Minister Norma Foley signed off on these construction works proceeding.

Speaking on this, the Fianna Fáil TD for Tipperary said: “I am delighted to welcome this positive news today that will see Kyle Park NS, just outside Borrisokane, benefit from the development of two brand-new, state-of-the-art SET classrooms. This great news is on top of the recent announcement of a major extension for the secondary school in Borrisokane and I am delighted to see this level of funding coming into the area.

“This will be a major boost to special education in the north of the county. I would like to thank my Fianna Fáil colleague, Minister Norma Foley for her work on this and I would like to sincerely congratulate the school management on their successful application to the Department of Education."
