There's good news for students and teachers at a South Tipperary school.
Fianna Fail Councillor Siobhan Ambrose has welcomed the granting of planning permission for an extension to Powerstown National School near Clonmel.
The work includes a new classroom and a special needs education room.
Councillor Ambrose says when complete these two additional classrooms will provide much needed additional space for the 312 students and their teachers.
