    Connecting to Goatenbridge isn't going to solve the access to water issue. That reservoir can't supply the existing demand. I can't see how connecting hundreds more houses to it will result in anything but restrictions and rationing within a couple of years.

    I see a car overturned after hitting a parked car in Irishtown yesterday evening.

    Clonmel Cycles was broken into last night and a bike taken. Smashing the glass door to get in. Apparently the guards have got the bike back. There was an attempted break in into A&E jewellers, windows also smashed there. I'm not sure, but I can't remember Door's or windows being smashed to gain entry into any business in a long time. Maybe it there was and I'm not aware of it. All happening in the last 24/48 hours.

    The picture of the car in Irishtown looked mad, I thought it was AI first.

    Smashing doors and windows seems like an old fashioned form of theft, it's almost like they know the garda response might not be that rapid and they can be well gone soon after an alarm is raised. Was the showgrounds closed at the time A&E jewellers was burgled?

    I not quite sure what time the window was smashed in the e showgrounds.

    There is a video of the car flipping over. It's actually mad how easy it flipped. Like something out of a movie.

    Also a video of someone bringing a bike out of Clonmel Cycles. The bike in question depending on the spec would be North of 3k and could well be possably twice that much.

    I see another video doing the rounds this morning of a guy going from house to house at 4am checking car doors in Willow park.

    No water for large parts of Clonmel until tomorrow at the earliest. And the long term solution Irish water have is to hook parts of the town up to the Goatenbridge reservoir which is already extremely short of capacity and has Newcastle, Cahir and Ardfinnan all on rationing with no water at night and during the day it must be boiled as it isn't safe for human consumption.

    Our public representatives lead protests over fuel prices or sulkies but seem happy to have Clonmel and surrounding areas with a water supply system that most third World countries would be ashamed of.

    It seems there are lot's of people who forget to lock their cars at night.Ant there are plenty of vultures awaiting to take advantage.

    Planning permission being sought for a large power plant in Ard Gaoithe,located just north of the existing industrial park. Some mention of 120MW plant. I presume this will be gas powered?

    A quick search brought up this result.

    Seems like a dual gas/diesel plant
