This One’s For You.
Ah you turn the pages of your life, See friend’s that come and go, But that sir you are just a man, That everyone should know. From perfect stock, the kind of rock, That made this island’s name, But though the sun shone bright for you, You left us just the same.
This one’s for you buddy, where ever you may be, I never really told you what your friendship meant to me. A glass or two buddy, are to stir the memory, And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
With so many treasured moments, I just don’t know where to start, ‘Cause Paul you played the kind of way that walked right through my heart, And with a pint and a spoof, you were living proof of how to play the game, And with so much left to give the world, you left us just the same.
This one’s for you brother, where ever you may be. I never really told you what your music meant to me. A glass or two brother, are to stir the memory, And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be.
A real old fashioned lady, with goodness through and through, Ma you were the greatest woman that I ever knew. You handed me the gift of life and helped me stake my claim. I never thought you’d go away, but you left us just the same.
This one’s for you mammy, where ever you may be. I never really told you what your loving meant to me. A glass or two mammy, are to stir the memory, And though my eyes can’t see you, in my heart you’ll always be. (Repeat last verse)

It has become perfectly obvious that urban city planning ideas are now being mandatory enforced on rural, agricultural towns like Thurles, Co. Tipperary with disastrous consequences, forcing trading retail businesses to either close or fold their tents to move elsewhere.
Anyone who visited Dublin City recently will know that only public transport, cyclists and pedestrians can now get into and around its increasingly menacing streets, with any degree of efficiently.
The busy prosperous Liberty Square of the 1960’s.
That is all well and good in Dublin with its network of buses, trams and taxis. Here in rural Thurles such public transport is very limited. There isn’t a Dart tram line to be found running from rural Upperchurch or indeed Two-mile-Borris or Littleton villages every 15 minutes. Indeed there is not one single bus shelter to be found in Thurles, to protect a prospective bus passenger from our inclement weather.
For those who wish to view what exactly will be forced on the residents and businesses of this once prosperous midland town, take a look here: N62-Slievenamon-Road-Phase-2.pdf
NOTE Page 6 of the above pdf: “Some of the key interventions that this strategy will deliver include significant investment in the provision of safe, segregated infrastructure to protect those walking and cycling on our roads, and initiatives to promote modal shift from motor vehicle travel to support environmental, safety and health objectives.”
The picturesque Liberty Square, midday in 2023, asks a Question: Where are the town centre consumers; where are the cyclists; the walker, and the vehicle parking spaces. Answer: Driven out with the businesses. Gone to support German international discount retailers on the outskirts of Thurles, who offer very little local employment, while selling a considerable amount of German processed produce.

Question: Where are the Cycle Paths either on a half upgraded Liberty Square, town centre or on this newly designed, still to be revamped, Slievenamon Road plan? Answer: Non existent.
This October 2022 plan will most certainly drive home that final nail in our town centre’s coffin. However, the local electorate, (now remaining surprisingly silent), can express their anger, during local elections, expected to be held possible next March.
