The former convent in Fethard could be set for a change of use.
Fethard and District Day Care Centre has lodged a planning application with Tipperary County Council for the Presentation Convent building on the Main Street.
The proposals before the local authority are for 19 age friendly accommodation units made up of 10 apartments and 9 single-storey houses.
The plans also include day care accommodation and community spaces.
If approved the works would include alterations and conservation works to the former music rooms for a change to day care use and the construction of a three-storey extension linking the convent to a new single-storey day care centre.
Fethard and District Day Care Centre is an approved housing body – a decision is due from planning officials by January 2nd next.
