“Too many people with degrees and not enough people with qualifications to operate drainage rods.”
The video hereunder highlights why just one thunder shower flooded areas within Thurles Town precinct.
Question: How much do we pay our local councillors for representing us at Council level each month?
Answer: On average depending on position, conferences attended, training etc, about €2,667.00 per month or close to €667.00 per week.
You can check exactly what we paid each named councillor HERE.

Not bad pay for those who refuse to answer emails from the public, and have to attend for a couple of hours at one meeting each month.
Meanwhile, highly paid officials at all levels, each responsible for basic administration within the town of Thurles, have proven themselves to be below par, ineffective and totally lacking in ability.
The video viewed hereunder, demonstrates the six possible routes for a Thurles Walking and Cycling Scheme, envisaged for the town of Thurles, Co. Tipperary and announced yesterday.
Details not supplied in the announced plan yesterday include:-
- How many students from all levels of education within our school system actually use bicycles or walk to school? A majority of students use the school bus service, while many more are collected by cars, driven by their parents.
- Surely students will choose their own cycling or walking future route – based on the logical rule that the shortest distance between home and school, going and coming, “is a straight line”.
- Why is the final destination in all 6 routes, Bohernamona road, east of the town?
- Regarding Route (1), The Green Route; With narrow pavements on both sides of Friar Street currently serving pedestrians, how can space be introduced for a cycling route? Are we to remove car parking completely from that area?
- Has anyone driven up Mitchel Street recently? Currently there is not sufficient space for two cars travelling in opposite directions, to pass each other.
- Like Bowe’s Corner funding; did someone dream up this scheme to acquire capital from the National Transport Authority (NTA), latter who are allocating taxpayers money to Ireland’s local authorities, with a view to spending €289 million on walking and cycling infrastructure in 2022, at the behest of Minister for Transport Mr Eamon Ryan?
- Finally, does this mean that a cycle lane will be included on Liberty Square, whose enlarged stench ridden pavements are currently taken over by outdoor tea/coffee seating and alcohol sales.
