A multi-million-euro investment has been sanctioned for Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed in Thurles, delivering a significant improvement in facilities for its growing school community.
The project was advanced by the school and its patron and managing authority, Tipperary Education and Training Board.
Funding has been sanctioned by the Department of Education, while Tipperary County Council is responsible for the relevant local planning decisions.
This development will provide 11 classrooms, including three additional general classrooms and new specialist facilities for Home Economics, Design and Communication Graphics, and Science.
Five prefabricated classrooms that have been in place for more than 35 years will now be replaced. A purpose-built ASD classroom with a dedicated sensory space will also be provided, supporting a more modern and inclusive learning environment.
In addition to the new accommodation, the existing school building will undergo a comprehensive roof retrofit.
This substantial public investment represents an important milestone for Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed and will provide improved facilities for students, staff and the wider Thurles community for many years to come.

Twenty-three children under the age of 16 were killed or seriously injured on roads in County Tipperary between 2021 and 2025, according to newly released Road Safety Authority figures.
Tipperary accounted for approximately 3% of the 658 child casualties recorded across Ireland during same five-year period. The county-level data provide a combined figure and do not specify separately how many of the 23 children died and how many suffered serious injuries.
Nationally, 38 children aged from birth to 15 were killed and another 620 were seriously injured. Children represented 5% of all road deaths and 8% of serious injuries recorded during that period.
The RSA Child Casualties Report 2021–2025 found that almost half of the children killed or seriously injured were pedestrians. Passengers accounted for 26% of casualties, cyclists for 17% and e-scooter users for 5%.
The research also highlighted the risks children face on roads with lower speed limits. Almost three-quarters of child casualties occurred on roads with limits of 60km/h or less, while 72% were injured between noon and 8:00pm.
Boys accounted for 61% of the children killed or seriously injured, compared with 39% for girls. Friday was the most dangerous day of the week, accounting for one in five child casualties.
One in eight casualties was travelling to or from school when the collision occurred.
The RSA released the figures as pupils across Tipperary and the rest of the country prepared to return to school. It is urging motorists to slow down, eliminate distractions and allow children sufficient time and space when walking or cycling.
Parents are also being asked to ensure children use appropriate restraints when travelling by car and to avoid parking on footpaths during school drop-off and collection times.
