The Minister for Higher Education will visit the Premier County today.
Simon Harris will be in Carrick on Suir to confirm details of a major expansion of education services in the town.
The Carrick on Suir Further Education and Training Centre will be located in the former Comeragh College building.
The €1.3 million project is proposed to be split into two phases.
Tipperary Senator Garret Ahearn says it’s a huge vote of confidence in the Tipperary Education and Training Board and in particular in Carrick on Suir.
“I think the investment is a sign of the real progress of Tipperary ETB.
“Phase 1 is the upgrade of the existing building and workshops, upgraded toilets and accommodation. Phase 2 is the new build – new workshops, new woodwork rooms and new classroom and new car park.
“So it’s a massive investment which is really significant and the proposed new build will provide capacity for about 300 new learners.”
