Truck Rearranges Street Furnishings In Half Upgraded Liberty Square, Thurles.

Truck rearranges Liberty Square, Thurles, town Railing

Sadly, the area was the scene of a pedestrian death on January 20th 2014. Since then the nearby railings, supposedly placed there to protect pedestrians, has since been replaced on three different occasions. Now for the fourth time, in possibly the past 36 hours, a large truck has again rearranged these same railings, at the junction of Liberty Square south and Slievenamon Road, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.

Yes, this is the Slievenamon Road, on the N62 route which is destined to be soon upgraded, by reducing its carriageway width, by widened/extending footpaths, by some 1.8m to 2.5m.

Any of you haulage contractors out there, with a truck missing a mudguard? Your driver failed to take it with him, having demolished railings, when failing to manoeuvre a left lane turn in Liberty Square Thurles. Co. Tipperary.

Peculiar, that with two currently resident Teachtaí Dála, both supporting the present government, no necessary funding has been acquired to provide a ring road for heavy traffic, thus relieving our medieval choked streetscapes.

Christmas Time.

We waited all through the year,
For the day to appear,
When we could be together in harmony.
You know the time will come,
Peace on earth for everyone,
And we can live forever,
In a world where we are free.
Let it shine for you and me,
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
We’re all as one tonight,
It makes no difference if you’re black or white,
‘Cause we can sing together in harmony.
I know it’s not too late,
The world would be a better place,
If we can keep the spirit,
More than one day in the year,
Send a message loud and clear.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
It’s the time of year, everyone’s together,
We’ll celebrate here on Christmas day,
When the ones you love are there,
You can feel the magic in the air,
You know it’s everywhere.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day,
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away,
Please tell me Christmas would never go away.
