There's activity around Pall this week.
Anyone know what's happening?

I've heard ABP are turning it into proper warehousing (Brexit etc.) but you know yourself, anything could happen, other than what you hear is going on.

Unfortunately had to pass through this place yesterday, absolute mayhem. What's with that "roundabout" near the co op ? Rosdworks seem to be on going in tipp the last 10 years yet still some of the worst roads I've seen.

No idea what the story is with roadworks and the work is taking ages. Church St/Limerick rd is finished and a nice surface but thought they could have made a nicer job other than the plane white concrete coloured footpaths. Maybe allow square cut outs for trees as well.

I assume the issue with trees etc is thetrucks would end up caught for space,

the second section is being done soon but half the town is opposed to it so

I would imagine the people living in those houses would object to trees blocking any natural light those houses might get.

Good to see some of the old buildings getting converted

Tipperary Town featured on RTEs' Eco Eye yesterday if anyone would like to catch up.

Locals and business people spoke very well at what problems need addressing.
Also a comparison was done with Clonakilty, a thriving town. Its good to see a Tipperary Town trying to aspire to eventually been something great for the locality again.

Until there’s some form of a bypass that can remove traffic from between the bansha road and dunnes stores roundabout, I can’t see how the town can improve.
Clinakilty looked great but they don’t have a national route going through the heart of it!

When you see all the investment Thurles town is getting it really makes you wonder why these things don’t seem to be done for Tipp , should be a vibrant commuter town

Lidl closing 23rd May according to signs outside their store in the town.

That a permanent closure? Grim town becoming grimmer.

The old supervalue down near lidl has been bought. Wonder what will go in there. No need for another supermarket in that town

Whatever it is it won't last.

Dealz would complete the landscape in the town, it's just take aways, bookies, pharmacies and now pound shops.

What a compete and utter hole.
