Construction is set to begin by the end of the year on an art centre for Offaly.
The Tullamore Community Art Centre Chairperson believes the old Kilroy building is a positive move for the town after a 10 year campaign.
The Department of Culture is to commit 2 million euro, while the local authority is to give 2.5 million and the committee is to a raise 500,000 euro.
He says it is an expensive project but it will be worthwhile:
