Proprietors Of A Thurles Home Refusing To Accept Another Winter Of Council Inaction.

For the second consecutive year, the proprietors of a house on the Dublin Road, east of Thurles, is being relentlessly flooded, and they are refusing to accept another winter of inaction.
The cause is not a natural calamity, but a man-made one: a raised, sloped footpath, installed by Tipperary County Council, now channels rainwater directly into their home.

Despite repeated calls to Thurles Municipal District Council staff, and despite entreaties to local elected councillors, not one single corrective step has been taken in the past two years.
After the heavy rain early this morning, we filmed video evidence-plain and unmistakable-that identifies water streaming down the garden path to flow under the front door, thus saturating the front hallway and creating rising damp, which today is visible, creeping mercilessly upward on the interior walls.

Outside, the tarmac footpath, which the council built, same is already sinking, forming a dangerous slope unto the property, turning the approach to the house into a funnel for floodwater.

We have this evening sent copies of the video and images to Ms. Sharon Scully (Thurles Municipal District Administrator) and Ms. Sinead Carr (CE, Tipperary County Council), asking that they immediately contact the elderly occupants, whom we have named in our correspondence.
The proprietors are terrified that a night of heavy rain will see their furniture floating, their home destroyed, and their security swept away.
The proprietors are now seeking immediate and urgent remedial action and full restitution for the damage caused by the councils inaction.
