The €900,000 sale of the Co. Council's machinery yard and its former offices in Irishtown, Clonmel to the Department of Education for use as a permanent site for the town's Gaelscoil has received the crucial go ahead from the local authority's elected members.
South Tipperary Co. Council's public representatives unanimously gave the go ahead at their September meeting to proceed with the sale of the site of just under 1.4acres to the Department of Education and Skills.
The Council's solicitor has now forwarded the decision to the Minister for Education. Council spokesman John O'Mahoney said that all remained to be done was to complete the legal formalities and payment.
He said the Council hoped to finalise the sale within the next few months.
Gaelscoil Chluain Meala has rented the Council's former offices in Irishtown since it was first founded in 1994 and over the past 16 year staff and parents have campaigned for a permanent home for the school.
