Gardaí Warn Against Purchasing Fake Driving Licences.

Gardaí are warning motorists with regards the purchasing of fake driving licences for considerable sums of money.

They warn that while the proposition of buying a fake licence may be appealing to those persons finding difficulty with passing their driving test; same is illegal and warrants a serious criminal fraud offence.

Gardaí claim that an increasing number of fake driving licences are currently being identified, particularly in counties bordering on the east side of Co. Tipperary. Gardaí are also aware of online posts across social media, which currently offer these fake licences.

Gardaí warn that same fake licenses even if they appear to be of superb quality; the driver number cannot be matched on the National Driver Licence Service, (NDLS) system. Gardaí now routinely scan all licenses on a mobility device, which immediately highlight such imitations thus leading to an arrest.

If you drive with a fake driving license, or indeed with no license; you are driving without insurance, latter in itself a serious offence, on top of the no driving licence offence.

State of St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Loughtagalla, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

Two of societies golden rules remain as good today, as they have been in the past.

What rules are they, I hear you say.

* A person can check out the cleanliness of a hotel, by the state of its toilets.
* A person can check out a communities pride in its self, by the state of its local cemetery.

While individual family graves in St. Patrick’s Cemetery Loughtagalla, Moyne Road Thurles are kept in pristine condition, maintenance under the control of Thurles Municipal District Council, leaves a lot to be desired.

[See image above of the area upon which people are being asked to walk in an effort to reach nearby family graves.]

It is also worthy of note that St. Patrick’s Cemetery, situated at Loughtagalla, Moyne Road, Thurles, is one of the very few graveyards in Tipperary which does not list those interred there on the internet, other than one very brief mention on the charity website Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

With people across the world anxious to trace their family histories, surely a website identifying graves in St. Patrick’s would greatly benefit in attracting tourists to an area where Tipperary Co. Council has deliberately and with great success, totally destroyed the town’s past existence.
