More bad press for Tipp Town.

Sorry, but Tipperary town is a dump - it's very run down and mean looking. It has enough bad press as it is.

Im from waterford and am hearing it has connections to the traveller feud here , 5 have bein arrested 2 earlier in waterford and another 3 in afternoon , this is surely goin to get worse before it gets better , a serious incident happened in waterford last week in which another member of traveller community was attacked with weapons , this may be rataliation , whatever it is it has taken a massive escalation in which a life has bein lost now like we all feared would happen.

No but an attack in waterford last week ended up in another member of travelling family bein flown to cork hospital after bein attacked by 4 men with weapons , he was also father of family so maybe if this is connected this poor man was used to get to other people , just my view from what iv heard . whatever it is its sad and looks to only get worse now.

I am living there at the moment and totally agree.

The best thing about it is the road out of it.

Towards Limerick.

Via Limerick Junction..

That is all.

I Dont agree in shuting this thread down just because of 1 or 2 bad replies about tipp town ,i dont agree with those 2 comments but as was said its about the incident and any further incidents which may happen , maybe change thread name so its not just about tipp town .

Back to the original point of thread , i did not hear much more about feud but iv heard some threats have bein made to travellers here in waterford how true that is i do noty know, Lets hope it will all quieten down , but i cant see it unfortunately.:(
