Tipperary Town- what the he’ll happened?

I have the misfortune to live within a few miles of Tipp Town. It is a hole. It doesn't need a by pass, it needs a wrecking ball to flatten the place. It would definitely look better flattened.

Local shops still close on Weds afternoon for a half day.

The district court operates out of the Excel centre on Wedsnesday and brings even more scumbags to mingle with the local ones.

There is a mart in the town on Friday's and this brings out the utter muck savages who are filthy and smelly and abandon their agricultural vehicles anywhere they like.

Utter ****hole of a place.

Brazzils is a lovely restaurant, and seemingly prime 74 is nice as well even though I haven't been,for such a ****hole you still end up shopping there,if its as bad as you make out then why don't you shop somewhere else

Never said it was different. Just pointing out what makes it a ****hole.
I pass through as fast as I can through the potholes to go to Tesco or Dunnes to go grocery shopping. Never deliberately go there to hangout/eat/drink.

So the country is littered with similar ****holes? Nice....

Not surprised the small businesses are closing down. Doesn't really have a chance then does it?

Is it bleaker than Ballina?

Ah now to be fair Ballina is twinned with Craigavon! Craigavon - fcs rofl

How do the Tipp Town townies get along with the Tipp Town culchies?

Tipp Town,Carrick,Nenagh and Roscrea are absolute sh!tholes. Sometimes I'll take backroads just to avoid Tipp Town

Are you mad? Nenagh is quite removed from being a sh!thole.

nenagh is very close to limerick , nenagh really has no excuse not to being doing well but as someone who knows a little about commercial property i can tell you when a town has a very large number of commercial units for rent and at small money , its not a sign of a thriving place , for a relatively small town , nenagh has a very large number of commercial properties unoccupied so either the place is not doing great or no one shops in nenagh itself ?

There's a few commercial units for rent i'll grant you that, but the money is by no means small and the rates are ferocious. But i think if you walk the streets of Limerick you'll find a similar percentage of units available too- in fact pretty much any town or city will offer the same result (outside of Dublin). Not a reflection of the location as much as a reflection of the financial situation the entire country finds itself in.

Big works underway on Martyr's Road on both sides, First Data almost finished, Coty looking likely to be taken over sooner rather than later (if popular rumour is to be believed), Springfort Meadows and Ciamaltha Meadows being finished out with most sold off plans, Kickham St getting 3 new businesses in the next 6 months, Pearse St getting 2, a major revamp of Quentins Way in the offing and the new traffic plan kicking off shortly, which will also resurface all the roads in town. Not to mention the gas, water and ftth infrastructure that has gone in recently.

But yeah, Nenagh has nothing going for it.

Tesco is on the main street in Thurles.

Both Dunnes and Tesco were knocked on their planning permission to go where Aldi now stands. So had to go out to the Limerick road.

The whole worst town in Ireland is not just my opinion plenty of threads on here about it if you look.

I said not many rural towns had high street Tescos ... there are some exceptions :rolleyes:

So why did Aldi get permission? Size of development relevant to the size of site perhaps? The town has a large SuperValue - A Lidl and an Aldi all with toddling distance of the town centre and you're still not happy?

Have to disagree with you on that. I am not moaning about the town. Im responding to the thread title asking what the hell has happened and pointing out what has brought the place to what it is today.
People choose to shop elsewhere for many reasons - more choice, better quality, more competitive prices and friendliness.
If i want to catch up on all the local gossip and have 2 days to stand in a queue in the L and N while Nuala tells Julia the parish ailments and scandal I would go there.

Not moaning about the town? Lol ...

I think we have already ascertained that many rural towns have such things as half days and marts and districts court sessions. That doesn't make them bad.

However comments of 'scumbags 'mucksavages' 'hole' etc etc says more about the attitude of the commentator than the town itself tbh ...

Driving back from Cork to Dublin today. Feeling a bit peckish. Spotted a sign for McDonalds at the next junction (junction 8). Near Cashel from memory.

So stopped in. Had me burger in the car in the car park, classy eh? Spotted a few caravans then a few old style ones (the green yokes that horses used to pull around). Heading off, more caravans then what looked like a settled halting site with pie bald ponies.

So it’s basically a Mackey Ds in a halting site.

"Farmers attend a mart in a rural Irish town - shocker"

I wish they would sort out the pot holes on the main road through Tipp town, they are a fecking disgrace. It's like to negotiate your way through a minefield.

That section of Road given it's a "national road" is an absolute disgrace.
You'd really wonder what our politicians are up to:rolleyes:

Some right vicious assholes in here.:D

I'm not from Tipp but I did pay Tipp town a visit while going racing in the nearby racecourse. A small group of us booked into the Ballykissteen Hotel to make a night of it afterwards as we'd been advised to do that. Got back to the hotel (on the outskirts of the town) for some grub and a session. Arrived into the hotel bar and it was lightly patronized by people that were either staring at their phones or the ceiling. No atmosphere at all. We bailed into Tipp town instead. Ate in Brazil's restaurant and then drank the night away in a bar called O'Neill's. Mad night. Great craic. No hassle from anyone. Eventually got back to the Hotel and it was asleep. Glad we went into the town though. Not the prettiest place, but I've been in worse towns.
