Crumbling Wall In Thurles A Danger To Children.

Over four weeks ago (August 18th) we highlighted attempts, by one or other motorised vehicle, to re-design the “Watery Mall” Famine Wall, located on Robert Emmet (Emmett) Street, Thurles, immediately behind Tesco Supermarket.

The rear of this wall, shown immediately above, has now begun to crumble.
Because the area has been allowed to fall into an unexceptable state by Thurles “nettle huggers”, its unkempt state is regularly the haunt of children who see this disordered and ungroomed zone as a favourite playground, where they can hide, see and not be seen, by passers-by.

Thurles Municipal District officials have been notified by email.

Meanwhile, following our video, published on August 29th last (VIEW HERE) , the “Ring Buoy” stolen and missing for months has been replaced. So also the river walk has now had the host of overhanging nettles and briars cut back on the tarmacked pathway, situated between Lidl and Thurles Shopping Centre.

Alas, further down while an effort was made by persons unknown to clear a path travelling southward to Suir Island, those involved obviously got ‘fed up’ and ‘pissed off’, or got ‘pissed off’ and ‘fed up’, whatever. See picture hereunder.

Alas, the request to Supermarkets on August 20th, in this area (VIEW HERE), to remove their shopping trolleys from the river has, for the most part, gone ignored.

Time now to affect a byelaw re. such trolleys and issue fines, seizing these trolleys until same fines are paid.
It should be noted that the basic metal trolley dumped in the river Suir, costs €180.00 each, and supermarket customers pay for the loss and replacement of same, through a percentage increase in the goods that consumers purchase within that Supermarket.
