Traffic Management On Abbey Road Thurles, Co. Tipperary From Monday.

Motorists travelling into Thurles from the west side of town tomorrow morning, e.g. parents dropping students into the various educational facilities in the Town, please take note.

On Friday last, September 20th 2024, per the Tipperary County Council website, an announcement was posted stating that there will be Temporary Traffic Management on Abbey Road Thurles, Co.Tipperary (R-660).

**Annual Blocked Drain on Kickham Street, Thurles**.
*Pic: G.Willoughby*.

The statement declares:- “Temporary Traffic Management on the R-660 Abbey Road, Thurles, Co. Tipperary. From the 23rd of September 2024 (Monday) to the 18th October 2024 (Friday). From 07.00hrs to 19.00hrs for the duration of the works. Traffic Management will be in place. Delays can be expected”.

The road hazard type is described as “Road Works”.

Interesting that, since this road was only upgraded just 3 years ago, (August 19th, 2021 view Here) with funding of €75,000 allocated to erect a basic road roundabout, which is constantly struck by heavy traffic, resulting in motorway signs being replaced, (Following month September 29th, 2021, view Here).

Do you think one of that workforces employees might oblige by dropping up to Kickham Street, armed with a shovel, to unblock a drain?

New Contract Sought For Automated Border Control eGates at Dublin Airport.

A new contract for Automated Border Control “eGates” services, for passport control in Dublin Airport, has been announced, which will see the upgrading of the existing eGates.

Automated Border Control eGates provide highly secure automated passport validation and security checks on passengers for passport holders from the EU/EEA, Switzerland and the UK, who are over 18 years of age; same being a “self-service” type channel to clear immigration control.

Last year, over 4 million passengers arriving at Dublin Airport, and were processed by the eGates operated by the Department’s Border Management Unit.
Securing this contract means that Dublin Airport staff can continue to process, Irish, EU and other eligible travellers, as swiftly as possible, while conducting stringent security checks on passengers and their documents.

We are informed that utilising new technology, such as Automated Border Control eGates, is paramount to delivering a secure, effective, and modern Immigration Service.
