Over €112,000 has been allocated to tackle educational disadvantage and to support community education in Tipperary.
The funding has been announced today by Minister for Higher and Further Education Simon Harris.
Locals Senator Garret Ahearn says the money is allocated to Tipperary ETB who then give it to the successful projects.
“There’s 14 successful projects right across the county from Scoil Chormaic in Cashel, St Peter & Paul’s Primary School in Clonmel, the Tipperary Community Services Centre, Killaloe – Ballina Family Resource Centre, Knockanrawley Resource Centre, Borrisokane Reception Centre.
“So there’s a wide variety of groups and organisations in the county that have been successful.”
Senator says the money will be put to good use during what’s been a difficult time.
“The money is going to go towards laptops, bags, storage units and music equipment.
