It has emerged that Councillors have vigorously questioned Council officials ahead of the critical vote on Thursday 28 January on whether the estimated 2 years' of roadworks will take place through Tipperary Town. Councillors are frustrated that important answers were not provided.

The much-awaited Tipperary Town Task Force has begun its work. Ambitious plans will be developed and worked on, including social inclusion, employment, infrastructure (including ridding the town of N24 traffic), a community-friendly and revitalised town centre, education, heritage building restoration and reuse, as well as building tourism.
Tipperary Town Chamber/TIRD, March4Tipp and Jobs4Tipp have joined forces to push for Ring Road for the town. Part of that campaign is to ask every Tipperary General Election Candidate if they would support a Ring Road, if elected. There was an early boost for the campaign when Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael candidates committed their strong support for a Ring Road.
