“O Lord, support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen, the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, in Thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at last, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Evening Prayer used by Blessed John Henry Newman).
The HSE will host a free MMR vaccine clinic here in Thurles, at the Thurles Primary Care centre, situated on Mitchel Street (E41 R1X3) from 10:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday March 30th next, 2024.

The HSE is urging members of the public to avail of this free MMR vaccine clinic, following an increase in measles cases rising in Ireland, the United Kingdom and further across eastern Europe.
Remember the clinic is free and no appointment is deemed necessary. The MMR vaccine is safe, and effective at preventing measles infection and other serious illness, brought about by this infection.
Complications of measles can include pneumonia, ear infections, febrile seizures [Convulsions that can occur when a young child has a fever above 100.4°F (38°C)] and less commonly, encephalitis [inflammation of the brain] and even death.
The best protection against measles infection is vaccination. Two doses of MMR vaccine are required and please note that MMR vaccines can also be obtained from your local GP.
Dr Breda Cosgrove, (Consultant in Public Health Medicine at Public Health HSE), warns that measles are a highly contagious condition and can become quite serious,causing serious illness, especially in young children, leading to one in five people admitted into hospital. Dr Cosgrove points out that we are currently seeing a rise in measles cases here in Ireland due to foreign travel, with large outbreaks occurring within the UK, Europe and further afield. Concerns are therefore raised that we may see measles cases occurring within the HSE’s Mid-West region, over the coming weeks and months, and why the HSE are now offering free MMR vaccines to anyone who may have missed out previously.
Dr Siobhán Neville(Consultant General Paediatrician at University Hospital Limerick, and Associate Professor of Paediatrics, University of Limerick,) has stated, “We are encouraging parents and caregivers to double-check their children’s vaccination status and arrange a ‘catch-up’ where necessary. As cases have been so rare in recent years, it’s easy to forget that measles can be an extremely serious illness, particularly for younger children and those who are immunocompromised. Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your child and those around them.”
Odour and Noise Complaints accounted for 90% of all complaints to the EPA in 2023.
The EPA carried out over 1,200 inspections at 535 licensed industrial and waste facilities. 91% of these were unannounced.
The Licence & Enforcement Access Portal (LEAP) launched in 2023 giving the public enhanced access to environmental information.
The EPA identified 11 sites as National Priority Sites for enforcement in 2023. Most were in the food and drink sector (five sites) and waste sector (three sites).
Enforcement activities by the EPA have resulted in a decrease in complaints, down 36% from 2021. Odour and Noise Complaints accounted for 90% of all complaints received by the EPA in 2023.
22 prosecutions were concluded in 2023 resulting in fines of €137,750 and costs of €245,047 being imposed.
2023 saw the first successful District Court Prosecution for the extraction of peat without a licence from the EPA.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has today published its Industrial and Waste Licence Enforcement Summary 2023. The report gives details of enforcement activities across the 889 licensed facilities in 2023.
In 2023, the EPA carried out over 1,200 inspections at 535 licensed industrial and waste facilities. Of these, 91% were unannounced. Enforcement action by the EPA has resulted in a decrease in complaints to the EPA about these sites, down 36% from 2021 from 1490 to 960. Odour and Noise complaints remained the most common in 2023, accounting for 90% of all complaints received.
Commenting on the report, Dr Tom Ryan, (Director of the EPA’s Office of Environmental Enforcement) said: “The increased focus on the improvement of odour and noise management at EPA licensed sites has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of complaints received. The EPA will maintain a focus on nuisance arising from licensed sites and will take enforcement action, where appropriate. The launch of the Licence & Enforcement Access Portal (LEAP) has transformed the way in which the public can access environmental information concerning licensed sites with already almost 100,000 page views in 2023. 2023 saw the first successful District Court Prosecution for the extraction of peat without a licence from the EPA, and 22 prosecutions were completed last year.”
The EPAs National Priority Sites List is another important tool assisting the EPA in targeting its enforcement effort at the licensed operators with the poorest environmental performance. This helps drive improvements in environmental compliance. Since its launch in 2017, fifty sites have been identified as National Priority Sites, with 11 sites on the list in 2023. These were mostly in the food and drink sector (5 sites) and waste sector (3 sites). Industrial and waste compliance information and further details of the National Priority Sites scoring system and the list of sites can be found online.
Enforcement information on all sites can be found on the Licence & Enforcement Access Portal (LEAP) LEAP Online (epa.ie) Complaints about licensed sites can be made on-line or by contacting the EPA at Tel: 053-9160600.
Today, on TippFM local radio we learn, through an interview with local elected Independent Cllr. Mr Jim Ryan, that a major upgrade of the road surface and footpaths on Kickham Street, Thurles are likely to start maybe next August 2024.
Kickham Street this evening after the ‘Pothole fixer’ came and went.
According to Cllr. Mr Ryan, some residents of the area have complained of loose chippings, latter flying up into their houses and gardens. He failed to mention the double glazed window broken by flying gravel; the rotting door timbers on houses; school pupils and adult pedestrians being struck by flying gravel and their wet clothing, same soaked by the torrents of water flowing past blocked shores. Truth is Cllr. Mr Ryan resides just one mile from this area, same easily the busiest entrance and exit in and out of Thurles town centre.
Footpath evidence today, proving that pedestrians are being assaulted by stones from disintegrating tarmac, fired from the wheels of passing trucks and motor vehicles.
So, how many times has Thurles.Info contacted Tipperary Co. Council, Mr Joe MacGrath (Chief Executive) and Thurles Municipal District Council, Ms Sharon Scully (Thurles Administrator) together with locally elected councillors? Note: Dates that Thurles.Info highlighted this issue before reading the published links, shown hereunder, starting in 2021, with video and undeniable photographic evidence provided. Note Also: You are going to be asked to vote; to return some of those who have neglected our community, back into office again in the coming weeks.
Cllr Mr Ryan failed to state that Thurles Municipal District Administrator Ms Sharon Scully(twice invited to view this area); and Director of Services Roads/Transportation and Active Travel, Mr Marcus O’Connor, both failed/refused to correspond to numerous emails forwarded to them, between February, 23rd, 2021and January 3rd, 2024.
Kickham Street, Thurles, this evening.
Under the guidance of Local engineer, Mr Thomas Duffy, his staff, in a way observed by locals as being foolish, unreasonable and even amusing, (using what appeared to be a Stihl TS420 14in Cut-Off Consaw), cut a 3.81 centimetre (1.5in inch) wide channel to allow water to flow from one pothole into another. View Here to observe the undeniable evidence and see picture immediately hereunder.

Fianna Fáil TD Mr Jackie Cahill, who uses this road at least 4 times each week, in criticizing his own Political Party, may just be right. “Fianna Fáil have stopped listening to the ‘Ordinary People’,”(whoever they are). Mr Jackie Cahill, readers will be aware, is the TD who recently brought a deputation to meet Mr Jack Chambers TD, (Minister of State at the Department of Transport), and failed to get even a future committment to build a ‘Thurles Ring Road‘, first sought 50 years ago. Independent TD and government supporter Mr Michael Lowry also uses this roadway, and both TDs, who reside in Thurles, should be thoroughly ashamed, and embarrassed, because of their total inaction on this matter.
In an email forwarded to the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications, Mr Eamon Ryan, (eamon.ryan@oireachtas.ie), and the Minister for Finance, Mr Michael McGrath, (michael.mcgrath@oireachtas.ie), Thurles.Info has now asked how residents in this area can appeal against their Local Property Tax, same forcibly removed from the incomes of persons residing on Kickham Street, and whose homes, which have been continuously damaged over the past three years, due to a lack of basic road repair. The request, sent 12 days agoon March 14th last, we now eagerly await a response.
We can be forgiven for believing that Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) now govern this troubled country, which is totally lacking in governmental leadership.
