Aldi Thurles driving customers away, due to flooded car parking spaces.
Regular shoppers to ALDI, the German multinational family-owned discount supermarket situated at Kickham Street, Lognafulla, Thurles, Co, Tipperary, are being forced to venture off to shop elsewhere, due to customers being asked to exit their vehicles, to walk in up to 7.62cm of water (3in) every time it rains.
It would appear that the parking areas at Aldi Thurles, latter possible one of the best shopping experiences in Thurles, has sunk due to constant heavy traffic and is now badly in need of immediate maintenance.
Sadly, only 10% of parking spaces are free of water within the area provided, forcing people to chance using invalid vehicle appointed spaces or go shop elsewhere. Why this has been allowed to happen all during this winter period, Aldi, when contacted this morning were unable to answer, but promised to immediately examine the problem.
Tipperary Roads Policing Unit, in the last number of days, patrolling the Roscrea area, identified a motor vehicle attempting to evade Gardaí. The vehicle was halted before being seized for no Insurance, no NCT and no Motor Tax. The driver of the vehicle was also arrested on suspicion of Drug Driving, having failed a DrugWipe test for Cannabis.
On January 7th last, Tipperary Roads Policing Unit halted a vehicle for having a densely tinted windscreen and side windows. An examination which was carried out, confirmed that the driver, as a result of the tinting, had poor visibility of the roadway, which is both illegal and constituted a danger to other road users. The driver was also arrested on suspicion of Drug Driving, having failed a DrugWipe test for Cocaine.
A new surge in cases of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is being reported within the Mid-West health region of Ireland, latter which covers counties North Tipperary, Clare, and Limerick.
Concerns are being expressed that this will now place even further pressure on University Hospital Limerick (UHL), which continues to remain the most overcrowded emergency medical facility within the Irish State.
A specialist in Public Health Medicine, Dr Marie Casey; latter currently working on COVID-19 health protection response at regional level, has stated; “What’s unique about this year is that we’re having all these seasons of these different infections at the same time, so normally there will be different patterns and there will be a bit of staggering. But what we’re seeing is that there are high numbers of all the different types of infection at the same time, and that obviously is putting increased burden on our region.”
Dr Casey said that RSV is mostly affecting children, with many of them older than would normally be seen, and there is a drift into the older population as well, which she confirmed was different from previous years.
Go back to basics.
Dr Casey is urging people to go back to basics again and not to socialise – go to work or school when sick – continue hand hygiene, and wear face masks, particularly if feeling unwell.
Yesterday, Monday, January 9th, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation said there were 489 patients on trolleys waiting for admission to a hospital bed, with University Hospital Limerick the worst affected with 48 patients waiting.
Today, Tuesday, January 10th, there are 573 patients with Covid-19 in our Republics hospitals according to the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Over the past 14 days, 309 cases of Covid-19 were reported in Co. Tipperary, however, these are only the reported cases and the figure is most likely to be much higher.
