Dangerous Cast-Iron Tree Grate On Liberty Square.

If you are out and about in Liberty Square, Thurles, over the coming days we beg you do take care.
Assuming you can stomach the ferocious stench of sewage, emanating from manholes in the area, which is particularly foul this evening; we ask children in particular, please do watch out where you put your feet.

**Broken cast-iron tree grate on Liberty Square Thurles**.

Immediately outside the Ulster Bank building, a cast-iron tree grate, of the type installed at the base of trees to guard the soil and rooting systems; was broken almost a month ago, during the Thurles Musical festival in early July.

To date same has not been replaced. This grate could be responsible for tripping up that rarely observed consumer, who as they run to avoid the stench, could suffer a nasty fall.

With regards to the stench on Liberty Square, we understand that same problem has been examined by ‘Irish Water’, but results communicated, if any, to council officials are being kept close to their chests, with again the electorate being kept in the dark, yet again.

First Ever Large Seizure Of Counterfeit Coins In Ireland.

The public are being warned to be aware of the possible circulation of fake €2 coins, following a seizure by Gardai of counterfeit currency with an apparent face value of €2,920.

Gardaí confirm that the seizure is the first large seizure of counterfeit coins here in Ireland.

During the seizure last July, one person was arrested/charged and has already appeared before the court last month.

We also understand that bank assets to the value €73,986.62, have also been frozen.

While it is difficult to identify suspect coins the following is advised:-

Use a magnifying glass, to compare suspected coins with known genuine coins.
Suspected coins offer poor quality image detail. Suspected coins offer a different coloured ring or core and are missing edge lettering.
Coins are a different size, thickness, diameter and weight, or are found to have incorrect spelling and font.
Some counterfeit coins will bend.
Genuine €2 coins are slightly magnetic and by using a magnet you should be able to lift the coin up, before shaking the coin off the magnet with relative ease.
