For those of you wondering why gaps were being left in the paving on ournew,state of the art, granite style, footpaths, now taking shape on Liberty Square here in Thurles; today your silent curiosity may have been rewarded by a possible rejoinder.
The next phase of the Liberty Square rejuvenation project is underway and will see state of the art street lighting installed around our town centre.
Claremorris, Co. Mayo based firm ‘Electric Skyline Limited’ are responsible for this stage of the project. The public lighting specialists are installing dual lamplight heads that will provide lighting separately for both the footpath and the main through route.
The style of street lamps chosen [see image above] appear perhaps a shade modern when related to shop buildings, nevertheless they are sure to be admired by many, with the removal of unsightly ESB cables, that for years have relentlessly monopolized the Thurles Town centre skyline.
After months of continuous, yet necessary, plastic bollards and barriers, it is great to see some of the vision behind this major project, starting to materialise above ground level.
Temporary Traffic Management will come into place on the R659, on the stretch from the Yellow Lough, Thurles to Cabra Road, Thurles in Co. Tipperary.
The reason for the Traffic Management is to undertake very necessary road resurfacing, which is expected to commence between 8:00am on May 19th 2021 and continue until 7:00pm on May 25th 2021.
Signage has already been put in place, warning of Tipperary Co. Councils intentions and further diversions will be put in place when work commences.
Local access only will be permitted, until the resurfacing work is complete.
“The most innovative change to policing in the last twenty years”.

The ‘Active Mobility Application’ allows Gardaí to check a vehicle’s history, tax, and NCT status. It also allows Gardaí check the status of a driver’s licence and Insurance and to process fixed charge penalty notice in real time.
In turn this application allows Gardaí to work more efficiently and to spend less time in the office and more time out in local communities.
People driving through Liberty Square, Thurles are being asked to take great care, as high winds have brought about the uprooting of temporary plastic barrier railings, bollards and directional signage.
The barriers, bollards and signage are essential, as part of Thurles towns regeneration project, but exceptionally, unexpected high winds have now uprooted and scattered these items which are being freely and uncontrollably blown around the area.
Thurles Gardaí have been notified, and are attempting to contact the developer, but in the meanwhile, please do take great care.
