Two of societies golden rules remain as good today, as they have been in the past.
“What rules are they“, I hear you say.
*A person can check out the cleanliness of a hotel, by the state of its toilets. * A person can check out a communities pride in its self, by the state of its local cemetery.

While individual family graves in St. Patrick’s Cemetery Loughtagalla, Moyne Road Thurles are kept in pristine condition, maintenance under the control of Thurles Municipal District Council, leaves a lot to be desired.
[See image above of the area upon which people are being asked to walk in an effort to reach nearby family graves.]
It is also worthy of note that St. Patrick’s Cemetery, situated at Loughtagalla, Moyne Road, Thurles, is one of the very few graveyards in Tipperary which does not list those interred there on the internet, other than one very brief mention on the charity website Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
With people across the world anxious to trace their family histories, surely a website identifying graves in St. Patrick’s would greatly benefit in attracting tourists to an area where Tipperary Co. Council has deliberately and with great success, totally destroyed the town’s past existence.
Yesterday, Gardaí in the Nenagh area of Co. Tipperary, carried out a series of searches, which resulted in the confiscation of a large quantity of Cannabis edibles; same suspected to contain synthetic cannabinoids. This was the second such known seizure in recent days, within Co. Tipperary.
Often labelled “not for human consumption” for liability defence; Synthetic cannabinoids are designed to be similar to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and are a class of designer drug molecules which attempt to avoid legal restrictions on cannabis use.
The health effects from using synthetic cannabinoids can be unpredictable and harmful; even life threatening. Anyone who has a serious reaction to synthetic cannabinoids should call 911 or go immediatelyto their hospital emergency department. Synthetic cannabinoids can cause severe illness including:- Heart Attack, Strokes, Kidney Failure, Breathing Problems, Seizures, Gastrointestinal Problems, Rapid Heart Rate, High Blood Pressure, Muscle Damage and sadly even Death.
A quantity of suspected cocaine was also seized, following these searches.
One male has now been arrested and detained at Nenagh Garda station.
Further investigations are continuing into the sale and supply of these products.
