With the closure of the Thurles town car park beside ‘The Source’; parking for all vehicles used by persons attempting to do business or attend religious services in Thurles is now at a premium.
The car park rented by Tipperary Co. Council, situated south east of the Munster Hotel, for the past at least two years has 3 car parking spaces, unavailable due to a fallen tree.
The tree, latter a victim of a wind storm two years ago, luckily now hides a vast amount of litter, were Irish Business Against Litter (IBAL) ever to come a calling. See images hereunder.

Meanwhile; the people anxious and encouraged to attend Thurles Swimming Pool and Thurles Leisure Centre, latter erected by funding from local rate payers; the owners, managers and beneficiaries being Tipperary Co. Council, are forced to park on double continuous yellow lines, due to this aforementioned closure.
Speaking of Thurles Swimming Pool; to the rear of this building administration appears to be missing here also. It appears what isn’t readily on view to the public doesn’t exist. See images hereunder.

Just a few metres away the large car park underneath ‘The Source’ building, remains closed to the public, since March 2020. Despite no public access, three cars were parked in this underneath car park today, possibly owned by persons working in the building. However, the interior continues to show no effort is being made to repair the never completed ceiling insulation, torn down by the idle hands of vandals.
Sad and deplorable state, for the past 4 year, of this never sealed interior ceiling insulation, pictured today (22/8/2024), from within ‘The Source’ car parking area . Pic. G. Willoughby.
One hastens to add, where was the CCTV supposedly operating in the area, when this same vandalism was in progress? The time has come for either resignations or indeed sackings from within the Thurles Municipal Council official grouping, due to their inability to manage our town, allowing it to slide, headlong, downhill in a deafening silence.
“Where Tipperary Leads, Ireland Follows“. Quote by Thomas Davis, editor of ‘The Nation Newspaper’ in the 1840’s.
A Tipperary company has not only developed but has also patented a new process to transform old plastic into sustainable aviation fuel and wax.
The company known as Trifol Resources are presently operating two large recycling machines, since June of this year, at Tipperary’s former Bord Na Móna briquette factory, same situated close to the village of Littleton, Thurles, in Co. Tipperary.
Co. Tipperary’s former Bord Na Móna Briquette Factory, at Littleton, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Already, two major international oil companies have contracted with Trifol Resources to purchase all of the sustainable aviation fuel that the Littleton plant can provide.
Both product produced is observed as a massive achievement especially since this former Bord Na Móna briquette factory, for decades was synonymous with the production of harmful fossil fuels, and now will become a central location for the production of carbon neutral sustainable fuel.
The key to what Trifol is doing at the Littleton plant is a process called ‘pyrolysis’(latter the heating of an organic material, in the absence of oxygen), which involves a machine that decomposes the waste plastic by heating it at enormous temperatures, in the absence of oxygen or naked flame, until it becomes a gas. This gas is then put through processes that cool it down at different rates of temperature, which in turn determines the required end product, which could be wax or very high-quality diesel or sustainable aviation fuel, or Naphta; latter product which is a very low octane form of petrol.
Trifol Resources claim that their Littleton plant will require up to 75% of all the plastic waste in Ireland that is not currently being collected. The waste plastic being recycled presently at the Littleton plant is mostly different types of polyethylene including farm plastic used in the covering of hay or silage.
To date Trifol has invested some €15.5 million in its Littleton plant. This investment includes €4.5m in grants from the EU and the Irish Climate Fund. This investment has provided the current supporting plant and equipment to enable the conversion of some 4000 tonnes of plastic waste per year.
A further €5m is expected to be invested on upgrading production to 12,000 tonnes, next year; while in 2026 and 2027 the plant plans to install a further 12 large recycling machines at a cost of some €90m, requiring up to 90,000 tonnes of waste plastic each year.
Generated Plastic Statistics: It is worthy of note that globally only about 9% of produced plastic is currently being recycled. Some 40% of Europe’s plastic waste is incinerated, while 25% gets dumped into our landfill. Only 16% of Europe’s plastic waste is collected for recycling, with 19% remains unaccounted for. Every year about 450 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide. While it is clean, easy to use, sterile and versatile; the product remains the cause of enormous pollution problems and at 58kg per capita, Ireland generates more plastic packaging waste, per person, than any other country within the EU.
Thurles Golf Club commenced work on Friday August 9th, to fell their commercial forestry at the Mill Road entrance to “Our Ladies Well” walk-way. Walkers will be aware that the “Our Ladies Well” walk-way remained closed from both entrances (both from the Mill Road and N62 Turtulla entrances), on Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th and Friday 16th last (August 2024), but has since opened again to the public.
“Our Ladies Well Walk-Way”, Thurles. Pic. G. Willoughby.
Perhaps the seat on the walk-way, kindly sponsored by Dew Valley Meats, in Thurles, could now be moved slightly westward, into shelter. In the coming months for those who may choose to“Dwell Awhile”, at where it resides presently, no shelter remains available and that line taken from an Irish blessing, “Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl” (English translation- May the wind be always at your back.), I have no doubt was written for those walking and not for those seated.
Meanwhile; back on Barry’s Bridge, in the Thurles town centre, a mystery has unfolded.
Where Are The Missing Chrome Bollards Gone? Pic. G. Willoughby.
Where are the 4 Chrome impact protection bollards/posts, each costing possibly €137.00 [ inc VAT. (Total €548.00)plus labour costs ] and once situated on the left-hand-side, as you crawl westward, slowly behind numerous HGV’s? Were they stolen? Were they struck by a heavy goods vehicle, (HGV)?
The bolts end, which once retained these missing chrome bollards to the pavement, suggest that an angle grinder had at least a small part to play in their sudden disappearance.
The waste of ratepayers money, by Tipperary Co. Council, continues.
