#march4tipp statement on Sky Innovation Park Announcement
A politician has made claims that #march4tipp is being negative about the recent announcement regarding Sky Innovation Park.
We want to assure everyone that we very much want the Park to be a success and to attract as many jobs as possible to the town. Also, we applaud anyone who is working to deliver that.
However, we are also aware that the repeated announcements about the Park have raised unrealistic hopes for many people who very much want to get employment in Tipperary Town. Every time there is another announcement, hopes are raised and then months pass until yet another announcement. We feel that this is very unfair on people who desperately need employment.
