    The rates in the town are a huge issue as to why most of the smaller shops have closed. Parking is another issue as is the appalling permanent traffic jam. Building the likes of Tesco and Dunnes on the edge of the town has also added to the exodus.

    High unemployment rate.
    No factory in the town.
    Piss poor facilities of any kind.

    It's not a case of people "not bothering" to shop in the town, it's any number of those factors.


    It was the local business who objected to Tesco / Dunnes going into the town centre for years.
    So they set up just outside. Now the same businesses are giving out because footfall in the town has decreased.

    The whole place really needs to be modernised. The mart on a Friday in the town centre keeps people away from the place.
    The crazy Wednesday afternoon closing for local business has to stop.

    Tipp town is truly the worst, most horrible looking town in the country, It's just missing a few Cash 4 Gold type shops now.

    I'm a proud Tipperary man and I have to agree. I've moved to Limerick and commute to Tipperary for work.

    It's just one of those towns were the best thing about it really is the road out of it. The town is just so grim and depressing looking to drive through. No reason to stop there. Housing estates all look rough too.

    Agreed - Nearly there with the amount of bookies in the town anyway. Miserable place. The road is an absolute mess too

    ??? ...Ok

    I didn't even know the bar was closed, I was aware the night club had gone about a year ago, probably something to do with the fact the bouncers liked beating the crap out of anyone in there, men or women... absolute scum bags.

    due to the increasing number of injury claims, insurance could not be found, the door staff had to put up with a lot of schit in tipp, so much so that no one wanted to work the doors there, so high/no insurance, no door staff has led to tipp not having a nite club

    I'd have no sympathy for those bouncers.

    I don't know the man you're talking about. I don't live there. Fyi I stop off in Tipp every week on business and usually have lunch there. Noticed it closed last two weeks. No need for the attitude.

    Gossiping about man's private life? "Is kielys bar closed" simple enough question.

    some one mentioned a publican buying cans in a supermarket and reselling them, if any one spends a couple of hours daily in a supermarket car park they will see the numbe of publicans who come out loaded wit beer and spirits is unreal, picking on one guy is totally unfair, it would be hard to find a publican who is not going down that road

    Given that spirits are often cheaper in the supermarket than from a wholesaler it'd make sense for publicans to buy where it's cheaper. Nothing wrong or illegal with that. Good luck to them. People need to understand that the price of a drink in a pub includes the use of the premises, facilities etc.

    I was going there for years (twice a month for 2 years (2010-11) & probably 7/8 times a year afterwards)and never saw much trouble that wasn't caused by someone acting the absolute idiot beforehand.

    The staff were all grand in there, not the best but not the scumbags beating innocents that you describe above. it's a pity they don't have a job anymore.

    How can anyone expect the town to improve its name when people are sprouting lies like this?

    Oh right you can call me a liar because I haven't had a chance to even back up my claims. Just because your personal experience from being there a few times is a good one it doesn't mean it's good for everyone. Sure, I've never had any bother there at all but I know two people who had the crap beaten out of them in a place with no cameras, one of which needed hospitalisation afterwards or my (female) cousin who was ejected so hard and fast she completely bypassed the footpath and cracked her skull off the road. But shur it didn't happen you so they're grand bouncers.

    I remember the objections well. Back around the mid 80's and even remember who some of the objecting businesses were. It would have transformed then town if they had opened at the excel site as proposed.

    You still have people coming into the centre today as there's still a few nice business in there but with Dunnes and Tesco on the edge of town, they really have taken from the footfall in the town centre.
