Lest thou forget, Holycross Village Market is up, running and fully open for business tomorrow, Saturday April 30th from from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
This week they boast a full house of some 30 vendors, both old favourites and new enterprising individuals.
A special welcome for Steve (New York) with his Wood Fired Pizza, who will be present, and is sure to get a big ‘Village Market welcome’ from both consumers and venders alike.
Come along and browse the lovely art and crafts stalls and take home some of their organic local fresh produce; including fruit, vegetables, meats and artisan bakes, to savour during this coming week.
Unable to make it tomorrow; not to worry this market will run, bi weekly, until December 10th, 2020 next with lots of interesting events and surprises coming along the way.
The market welcomes new traders throughout the year, while continuing to anchor a core group of valued old friends.
Note: As part of Holycross Village Market’s new initiative to network with local businesses, they are delighted to have Holycross Ballycahill GAA on board this week. Observe the poster above which will see raffled, at the market tomorrow (Saturday, April 30th), a Gym Membership for the John Doyle Centre Gym, Holycross, Co. Tipperary.
  
The Republic of Ireland’s Department of Health, today has confirmed 2000 new cases of Covid-19, within the past 24 hours.
Same figure represents 980 PCR-confirmed Covid-19 cases and 1,020 positive antigen tests registered through the HSE portal.
The Republic of Ireland’s Department of Health also confirms that the number of patients with coronavirus, in its hospitals across the country, has fallen to 378 a reduction of 34 patients on yesterdays reported figure.
There are 39 patients being treated in intensive care units with the virus, an increase of 3 since yesterday.
Sadly, a further 11 deaths have also been reported today, bringing our total number of deaths to 7,087, as of today, April 29th 2022
The Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works, Mr Patrick O’Donovan, has announced the approval of Tipperary County Council’s application under the Office of Public Works’ Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme.
Under this scheme, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has approved funding of €77,400 to construct a new, 315-metre-long surface water storm drain, including manholes, chambers and civils works, with outfall to existing open drain at Holycross, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
The Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme was introduced by the Office of Public Works back in 2009.
The purpose of the scheme is to provide funding to Local Authorities to undertake minor flood mitigation works or studies to address localised flooding and coastal protection problems within their administrative areas. The scheme generally applies where a solution can be readily identified and achieved in a short time frame.
Under the scheme, applications are considered for projects that are estimated to cost not more than €750,000 in each instance. Funding of up to 90% of the cost is available for approved projects. Applications are assessed by the OPW, having regard to the specific economic, social and environmental criteria of the scheme, including a cost benefit ratio.
Works that are normally the responsibility of the local authorities will generally not be considered for OPW funding. Where such works would also mitigate the risk of flooding to properties, partial funding may be considered by OPW.
The Local Authorities must be satisfied that the works will not have a significant impact on flood risk elsewhere.
The commencement and progression of any works, for which funding is approved, is a matter for each Local Authority concerned.
The Department of Health, here in the Republic Of Ireland, today has confirmed 2,370 new cases of coronavirus; same figure comprising 1,149 PCR-confirmed cases, while 1,221 people registered a positive antigen test through the HSE portal.
This morning, the number of patients with Covid-19 in hospitals has been reduced to 412 today, with 36 patients receiving treatment in intensive care units.
In Northern Ireland, their Department of Health has confirmed a further 355 positive cases of the virus in the past 24-hour period. There were 348 Covid-positive patients in hospital, with 4 patients in intensive care units.
Sadly, 2 further deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland, all of whom had previously tested positive for Covid-19.
