A male, aged in his 20s, was arrested by Gardaí in Clonmel on Wednesday last and was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984, at a Garda station in Co. Tipperary. The arrest followed the seizure of firearms and ammunition, undertaken as part of a multi-agency search operation.
The search was conducted as part of ongoing investigations into organised criminal activity within the Clonmel area.
In all a total of 12 properties were searched by Gardaí, in association with Revenue Customs Officials and members of the Defence Forces (Engineers No 1 Brigade).
The searches led to two shotguns being seized together with ammunition, a machete and incapacitant spray, all of which are now the subject of further technical examination by investigating gardaí.
Also seized, during the course of this search operation, was suspected crack cocaine and heroin with an estimate street value of €2,500 and €1,500 in cash.

Christmas Is.
(Mmhmm
Ah huh
Mmhmm)
Christmas is a time for caring,
Being at your best.
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
Christmas is a joyful time,
If you’re the lucky ones.
Some are blessed with gifts and trinkets,
Others having none.
Some have feasts up on the table,
Others having crumbs.
There are the haves and the have nots,
And you could be either one.
It’s all about kindness,
Love and compassion,
Better to give than receive.
That is a true fact,
But those who don’t know that,
Well, they are the poorest indeed.
And I hope you remember every December,
That bright shining light from above,
The promise from God’s lips,
The greatest of all gifts,
Wrapped up in His wonderous love (His wondrous love).
So rejoice in His glory,
The great Christmas story,
And to all that you’re sharing in will (uh huh),
You go tell it with passion (oh),
Of love everlasting (lasting),
‘Cause that’s what Christmas is.
Is a time for caring,
Being at your best,
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
(Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm),
That’s what Christmas is.

The Cashel Palace Hotel in Cashel, Co Tipperary has been named on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List 2024 as one of the best hotels and resorts in the world. View HERE.
Now in its 30th year, Condé Nast Traveler Gold List, is an annual miscellany of the very best hotels and resorts in the world, highly recommend by the luxury travel publication’s global editors.
The only hotel in Ireland to make the list, this newly-renovated 300-year-old Cashel Palace Hotel can be found situated at the base of the 12th-century Rock of Cashel, [E25 EF61], latter one of Ireland’s most historic sites and well known to visitors for its pencil-shaped round tower, Cathedral and Romanesque chapel.
Palladian in style, Cashel Palace hotel’s red brick facade contrasts with its limestone rear, and while the rear aspect of the building mirrors the front; the use of different materials makes it rare for a building of this period. Now newly and fully restored by the Coolmore Stud thoroughbred-training family, latter governed by Mr John Magnier, this Palladian manor is truly “a must visit”.
The building was initially designed as the residence for the Church of Ireland Archbishop Theophilus Bolton, in 1732, and designed by one of the pre-eminent architects of that period, Sir Edward Lovett Pearce (1699-1733), latter one of the most celebrated architects of the time, who in 1720 designed Dublin Castle; – in 1726 Drumcondra House; in 1727 the Obelisk, Stillorgan, Dublin, and in 1728 designed Dublin’s impressive Parliament House – now the Bank of Ireland* in College Green, Dublin.
*[A wit then quipped, on August 24th 1802 when the Bank took possession of Parliament House, “Since to a Bank, as ‘tis asserted, our House of Commons is converted; what most we want will be there, in place of what we best can spare.”]
It was in the 20th century that this bishops palace was first turned into a hotel, which then boasted such former guests as Miss Elizabeth Taylor and the late US President Mr Ronald Regan.
Condé Nast Traveler Gold List refer to the staff as “a well-oiled team that’s worked together for years”, and the buildings welcome being “as warm as the toasty log fires” in the “hotel’s woodsmoke-scented entrance hall”.
