Hardly the work of Banksy, latter that pseudonymous England-based street artist and political activist, whose real name and identity remain, as yet, unconfirmed.
The above 35.56 centimetre (14 inch) high, expletive / salutation has greeted the arrival and departure of those using the new Liberty Square / Slievenamon Road, car park, [aka ‘Checkpoint Charlie’], latter positioned just 20 metres from the Thurles Tourist Office, since June 2021. It appeared prior to the removal of the money wasting, two year old Perspex coated, parking ticket shelter the costings of which remain a closely guarded secret, retained only by Municipal District wasting officialdom.
Former eradicated Perspex coated, parking ticket shelter.
One would have hoped that these two worded expletive could have been removed by Thurles Council, along with the two year old car parking barrier system, or even by the well-meaning ‘Refresh Thurles’ grouping, but, alas, it has gone unnoticed over the past 3.5 years, due to the everyday ‘hussle and bustle’ of a now struggling Thurles town centre market place.
Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris).
Graffiti, seen by some as a form of visual communication, usually illegal, involving the unauthorized marking of public spaces by individuals or groups, has become a continuing problem here in Thurles and goes unchecked. Could the planting of climbing Hydrangeas (Hydrangea petiolaris) be the answer to this wanton vandalism?
Autumn shade of the Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris).
This charming, fully hardy, self-clinging, climber enjoys full sun to partial shade, but will still thrive even on a north facing wall. In midsummer white lace-cap-style hydrangea flowers cover the plant, before the leaves turn slowly to yellow in autumn. Same grows best in a sheltered position in soils rich in organic matter, reaching some 3.048 metres (10 ft) – 6.96 metres (20 ft) in height.
Pre-deceased by her beloved husband Tommy, sister Eileen (Lonergan), nephews Martin (McCarthy) and Joe (Butler), sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law; Mrs Fogarty passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, while in the care of staff of Tipperary University Hospital, Clonmel, following a long illness most bravely borne.
Her passing is most deeply regretted, sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her sorrowing family; Edel (Mahony), Tom, Colm, Patricia (Quinn), Assumpta and Gerard, sons-in-law Keith and Richard, daughters-in-law Hilda and Ann, her five grandchildren Ben, Emma, Tommy, Conor and Ricky to whom she was devoted, sister Mary (McCarthy), brothers JP and Austin, nephews, nieces, extended relatives, kind neighbours, cherished good friends and treasured customers of Fogarty’s shop.

Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) will mark its 140th birthday in Thurles today, Friday, 1st November, 2024.
The GAA was founded on November 1st 1884 at a meeting in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, Co. Tipperary, by a group of spirited Irishmen, latter who had the foresight to realise the importance of establishing a national organisation to make athletics more accessible to the masses and to revive and nurture traditional, indigenous sports and pastimes.
Michael Cusack 1847- 1906.[GAA’s first President elect.]
Irish teacher and founder Michael Cusack, latter born in 1847, (during the Great Irish Famine 1846-1849), a native of the parish of Carron on the eastern fringe of the Burren, in Co. Clare, would become its first President.
To mark today’s birthday, the GAA’s History Committee will attend at Hayes’ Hotel for a meeting at 12:00 noon, to make a presentation to the hotel. They are expected to be joined by Munster GAA President and GAA Vice President Mr Ger Ryan(Tipperary), as well as other Tipp GAA officials including Mr Patrick McKay, great grandson of John McKay, the former who was elected first secretary in 1884. To mark the event a meeting will be held in the same room where the Association was initially founded.
All are welcome to attend this event in Hayes Hotel.
It is with great sadness that we share the news with our readers, having learned of the passing of former RTÉ broadcaster and correspondent Mr David Davin-Power, aged 72 years.
Mr Davin-Power first began working for RTÉ News in 1978 and was part of the team that established the Morning Ireland radio programme in 1984.
In 1989 he left RTÉ, for some two years, to head up the newsroom at the now defunct commercial radio station, known as Century Radio, (aka Century 100 and later Century FM), returning to RTÉ as their Northern Editor.
He returned to Dublin, in 2001, again becoming political correspondent; reporting on affairs in Leinster House.
In 2017, Mr Davin-Power retired from RTÉ, having been their political correspondent for some 16 years. However, despite illness, he continued to work as a columnist with The Times Ireland Edition, as well as appearing on RTÉ, Newstalk, and Virgin Media, as a commentator.
Mr Davin-Power is survived by his wife Dearbhla, children Nick, Julia, Caroline, Ben and Emily.
