Thurles

where will all those people park . there is no rear access . surely you could put a nice few apartments in there. that is a lot of people

Exact same thing that is happening in Stradavoher Court, formely known as Student Village will happen in Liberty Square and Friar Street.

I have a niece living very near that estate. It was hell with the junkies, but when the Roma moved in around 2 years ago, they absolutely destroyed the place. Feuding going on between the foreigners at the front, and the Nova social housing tenants at the rear. Its the exact same thing that's happening in Roscrea, Portlaoise and Limerick.

Madame Maura shop, the former game shop (cant remember its name, but was run by Mrs. Shingloffs) old bookmakers on Croke Street. Dr. Molonys old practice etc.

These units are being used to house IPAs. Rather than attracting businesses or services to open in the town. Seems every other town can attract new businesses except Thurles. Embarrassing on its main street there's two charity shops.

Traffic is able to flow and I think the only complaints were from the few residents on the street. The only concern I would have had was the speed of traffic when people are queueing with/ waiting to collect kids at the dance studio but they are moving premises so it's no longer an issue.

I’m old enough to remember Mrs Keelan and her beautiful daughters running it. I wonder whatever became of them?

I work in Slievenamon Road and the place is in bits. The pavement is spattered with tarmac everywhere. You could not push a buggy or a bike without getting the wheels covered in melting tar. It’s disgraceful

I'd say your lad Magnier from Coolmore stud will have to step in for there to be any hope of saving it.

I remember during the Covid ITV racing entered into a contract with the Molonys to hold a couple of races. I remember the anger and threats from people OUTSIDE of Thurles calling the jockeys granny killers, ITV wasnt welcome in Thurles etc. There's always a massive resentment to everything that happens in town.

Nothing is ever saved in Thurles by the government . They'll subsidise anything in Cashel, Nenagh, but in Thurles, Clonmel, Tipperary Town and Roscrea. You could be in flames on the ground and they wouldn't even piss on you to put it out.

"Tipperary GAA Board might be interested in the property in Thurles if it is put on the market as the Board is seeking a site for a Centre of Excellence that could accommodate 5 pitches and infrastructure such as a gym, treatment rooms, office space and a restaurant"

A facility like this would be great addition to the area, but not the racecourse. Racing had existed for a lot longer than the GAA and nobody wants the racecourse to be closed. Perhaps this COE should be located in Bouladuff (Ragg). And the reason I suggest this village is that we lack any industrial, commercial and residentially zoned land around the town.

Why has a sprinkler system become necessary now after all this time ?

would the likes of coolmore be allowed to buy it and run it as a racetrack. would it be a conflict of interest or would that not matter

reports of some kind of chemical reaction that injured some kids.. its all a bit hush hush as far as i can see. no real reporting of what actually happened

Does anyone know of a good guttering installer near Thurles?

whats going into the liberty rooms old place.

is the italian place where the tara was open yet. is it a cafe style or a full resturant

If you’re over 60 it’s Connaughtons!
I was told it’s the pizza place on the corner with Westgate moving house.
