The project will address the leaking roof and sewage smells.
A midlands school, that has mould, dampness and the sewerage issues, is to undergo major renovation works.
Scoil Muire in Abbeyleix has been selected for the 2022 Schools Energy Retrofit Pathfinder Programme.
The project will address the leaking roof, sewage smells and involve a full insulation of the building including a new heating system and windows.
Minister Pippa Hackett is welcoming the news, "the school has been appealing for an upgrade of its facilities for some time. I visited this school in June and the Principal Aidan McEvoy showed me the bad state of repair that the school was in.
The Offaly Senator is thrilled that this is being addressed and the school will benefit from a substantial energy upgrading.
She says "these works will provide a transformation to a modernised, sustainable low energy building for the future including renewable heating system, extensive insulation and external fabric upgrade, new LED lighting and solar Photovoltaic panels and air tightness works."
