One Fine Gael Cllr. & One Fianna Fáil Cllr. Put Final Nail In Thurles Town’s Coffin.

Read Here. “The Town Centre First policy aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.”

**Cllr. Mr Sean Ryan and Cllr. Ms Peggy Ryan, both of whom, with the help of other councillors, supported the destruction of Thurles Town centre.**

Phase 2 of Thurles town’s upgraded traffic plan, will now proceed despite much local opposition by traders. See the deceit Published HERE announced almost 10 years ago in March 2015.

A final decision on the report had been previously delayed for further consultation; with a second traffic system trialled over a period of 3 days, instead of the 4 days originally agreed.
However, the initial plan, formulated by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) was proposed, yesterday, by Fine Gael Cllr. Ms Peggy Ryan and seconded by Fianna Fail Cllr. Sean Ryan, thus giving same idiotic plan the “green light”.

Yesterday evening, following the approved of this controversial plan, we understand that traders reacted angrily, with the latter holding banners stating, “It’s OK to say NO” and “120 Job Losses”.

The new plans, which are expected to take several years to implement, will involve changing the traffic system reduced to one lane, thus accepting traffic and heavy goods vehicles converging from 3 lanes right in the very centre of town. It will also see a further reduction of, at least, 12-14 car parking spaces from west Liberty square, and the removal of mature trees to be replaced by miniature trees forcing a colony of 1,000 Pied Wagtails becoming homeless.
