The school will now be able to double its capacity for children with special needs.
A Laois secondary school is set to double its capacity for children with special needs.
The Government has approved a new classroom to provide a special needs class in Colaiste Iosagáin in Portarlington.
Improvement works will also be carried out on an existing room which currently provides classes for children with additional needs.
Once both developments are complete, special needs places will increase from six to 12.
Minister of State and Laois Offaly Fianna Fail TD, Sean Fleming says the State's focus is moving from primary to secondary level provision for ASD Units:
