Town and Village Renewal Scheme 2018 Detailed Project Proposal Re: Tippeary Town TOWN AND VILLAGE RENEWAL SCHEME 2018 DETAILED PROJECT PROPOSAL RE: TIPPEARY TOWN Component 1: Market Yard Enhancement in Tipperary Town Introduction & Overview/Description of Town The area of this proposed project is within the Town Centre of Tipperary Town which has a population 4,979 according to Census 2016. Tipperary or Tiobraid Árann in Irish means “The Well of Ara”, a reference to the River Ara which flows through the town. It is a market town, traditionally having depended on the agricultural hinterland to support commerce and retail activity. Today, due to a lack of industry and commerce, the town is still largely dependent on the farming community for its economic survival. This project has long been an objective of the former Tipperary Town Council with plans initially drawn up in 2005 under the “Tipperary Town Building Façade Improvement Scheme & Approach Road Improvement Scheme”. A key strand of this plan was the development of a spine in the Town Centre from Approach Sign to Tipperary the Tipperary Excel building on Mitchell Street to the River Ara through the Main Street of the town. This project forms a phased part of this plan, work has already been completed on Kickham Street which included the creation of a high quality civic plaza area at the Charles Kickham monument and introduced a one way traffic system on Kickham Street. This was followed by the widening and paving of the pedestrian footpath from this plaza to the link road and adjoining River Ara along with the relocation of the pedestrian crossing on Main Street to facilitate pedestrian safety and accessibility. This phase of the project will upgrade the Market Yard as a pedestrian Well on Aherlow Road into Town priority area. Tipperary Town lies in the west Christ the King Statue Glen of Aherlow of County Tipperary just 4 miles from the beautifully secluded Glen of Aherlow between the Galtee Mountains and the Slievenamuck Hills with magnificent panoramic views. Sited on the beautiful River Ara, Tipperary was a dairy farming centre that began as an Anglo- Norman settlement at the end of the 12th Century. John O’Leary the fenian leader was born here, as was Charles Kickham, the novelist, another fenian who has a bronze statue erected to him in the town. Charles Kickham Monument The town lies on the N24 Waterford to Limerick National Primary route which runs through Main Street, Tipperary and the N74 Cashel Tipperary Road which runs eastwards towards Cashel. This results in huge volumes of traffic, including heavy goods vehicles, travelling through the centre of town every day; this has, and continues to, significantly hinder Tipperary’s potential growth. This is in addition to significant job losses and lack of investment for decades. The town is a RAPID designated urban centre. Efforts have been made to improve the attractiveness and vibrancy of the town centre; Tipperary County Council through the Cashel Tipperary Municipal District Office has run its Streetscape Enhancement Scheme since 2015 offering grants to businesses in the Primary Retail Area to encourage them to improve the appearance of their properties. There has been a significant uptake of this scheme. Some Examples of Before and After Photos under the Streetscape Enhancement Scheme in Tipperary Town Centre Scope of Project & Linkages to previous Town & Village/REDZ funded projects This project will be managed by Cashel Tipperary Municipal District of Tipperary County Council. The project is supported by Tipperary Town Centre Forum which comprises representatives from Tipperary Chamber of Commerce (TIRD), Tipperary Tidy Towns Committee, Tipperary Heritage Company (Excel), Town Appearance & Engagement Committee, Town Marketing Committee, Tourism Culture & Heritage Committee and Jobs for Tipperary Group. The Market Yard Enhancement is part of the phased Town Centre Improvement View of the Market Yard from Excel Scheme (detailed in Tipperary Town & Environs Development Plan 2013 – 2019) for Tipperary Town which will provide linkage from the Tipperary Excel Heritage Centre to the River Ara. This phase of the project which will upgrade the Market Yard as a pedestrian priority area will comprise: works to include new paved area; repaving of the existing area; and the installation of a new pedestrian crossing linking The Excel Heritage Centre (which now incorporates new Tipperary Town Library facility) with the Market Yard and the Town Centre; introduction of street furniture & planting/environmental enhancement. View of Market Yard from between the Banks The project is part of a phased plan for the town centre, work has been completed on Kickham Street, that phase of the overall plan included the creation of a high quality civic plaza area at the Charles Kickham monument and introduced a one way traffic system on Kickham Street. Kickham Plaza This was followed by the widening and paving of the pedestrian footpath from this plaza to the link road and adjoining River Ara View of the now one-way Kickham Street from Link Road The works also included the relocation of the pedestrian crossing on Main Street to facilitate pedestrian safety and accessibility. New Pedestrian Crossing on Main Street With the assistance of REDZ funding in 2015, Tipperary County Council commissioned a sculpture responding to the theme of “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary”, the famous song that has made the name Tipperary known worldwide and also to serve as a focal point for visitors to Tipperary Town. The sculpture was installed at the entrance to the Market Yard, a Rose Compass, designed by Ms. Lynn Kirkham, mounted on a steel shaft and set in limestone; it "Long Way to Tipperary" Sculpture is a visual marker that indicates a point in the world, where visitors and locals alike may take a photo as a reminder of a place and time. This is located at the entrance to the Market Yard from Main Street and is adjacent to these proposed works Project Programme/Delivery Timeframe The proposed project is subject to the planning process pursuant to Part 8 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001 as amended. It is anticipated that this process will be completed in Quarter 4, 2018 with works to commence in late Quarter 4, 2018/early Quarter 1, 2019 and will be completed by Quarter 2, 2019. Component 2: The development of a Community/ Digital Innovation Hub in Tipperary Town Introduction A group of interested parties have come together as “Jobs 4 Tipp” to try and create an improved future for Tipperary Town. One of the projects being pursued and led by Jobs 4 Tipp is the provision of a Digital Hub in the town. The town has a very wide hinterland of villages and rural areas that are poorly served with broadband facilities. The proposed Community Digital Innovation Hub will provide opportunities for connectivity, education and commerce in Tipperary that are not currently available. The intention is that the activity in this Hub would generate a sense of creativity and innovation which will facilitate the creation of jobs in the town. One aspect of this hub would be ‘hot-desking’ which we believe is a badly needed facility in the current digital age of working from remote locations. Providing this type of work environment with ultra-fast fibre broadband capability will bring people into the town as opposed to having a long daily commute to a workplace. Many companies and Government Agencies are encouraging remote working for their employees with some companies having even moved to 100% work-from-home operations such as Shopify which has a 300-plus workforce in Ireland. In order to cater for this market, access to fibre broadband will become a ‘must-have’. Provision of fibre broadband in the Hub is a key driver of the project. A second aspect of the hub would be to facilitate community e-learning and e-commerce. This encompasses providing training for on-line literacy, providing access to high speed broadband not available in the rural community and providing access to HEAnet for student’s study and research facilities. A further step on this stream would be enabling local retail business to become active on-line traders, thereby broadening their customer base to the virtual shopping world. A recent survey (note 1) found that 20% of SMEs in Ireland have no online presence and off those that have an on-line presence, only 25% engage in e- commerce. Considering that the European on-line retail sector is growing at 15% per annum, businesses will be left behind if they don’t engage with the full potential of on-line selling. Through community e-learning and enabling e-commerce, the Hub will help businesses to be ‘future-ready’. The third aspect is to provide start-up opportunities through building an innovative networking environment. Having the appropriate office space and broadband connectivity together with supports will facilitate an entrepreneurial spirit within the Hub. Many of today’s start-up originate from Hubs where fast broadband access is often the key enabler on the road to future success. It is envisioned that by having like-minded individuals co- located in the Hub, this will generate interactions which will promote success. Provision of entrepreneurial support such as ‘start your own business’ courses and case-study presentations are areas we’d see being accommodated in the Centre. Overview/Description of Town Tipperary Town is located in the western part of County Tipperary mid-way between Limerick City and Clonmel, 25 miles from both.

    Din Kennedy by Michael O’Dwyer Din Kennedy was born on 26 June 1913 at Coolcroo, Two-Mile-Borris, County Tipperary. He was the fourth son of Con Kennedy, a farmer, and Mary Anne Kennedy (née Campion). His parents got married in Gortnahoe church on 21 February 1909. On the Kennedy family in Jimmy Fogarty’s excellent book on Moycarkey Coolcroo Athletic Club, A Tipperary athletic club: 70 years of athletics in a County Tipperary parish, he started with, ‘In 1936, the Kennedy family, together with their close neighbours, the Healys, became the founding members of Coolcroo Athletic Club. All the male members of this family were known throughout the county as great hurlers and athletes, having captured All-Ireland medals in both disciplines. In fact, their Uncle Tom Kennedy was a member of the historic Two-Mile-Borris team, County Tipperary, Munster and All-Ireland Hurling Champions of 1900.’ When Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1937 for the first time one of the team’s six scorers was Din’s brother Tom Kennedy (1912–1962). Two years later, in 1939, when Coolcroo regained the Irish junior cross-country title Din Kennedy was a scoring member, and he was also a scoring member when Coolcroo won the Irish junior cross-country title in 1948. His best year though was in 1946 when he was a scoring member of the Tipperary junior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title that year and the following month he was a scoring member of the Tipperary senior cross-country team that won the Irish inter-county title.

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

There was then no unit of the Irish Volunteers in Carrick-on-Suir.. There were, however, in the town a. few nationally minded people, such as Dr. Murphy, Maurice Hickey and some members of the Dowley families, who had broken away from the Redmond ite Party and the Irish National Volunteers when the split took place in that body a few years before, but, as far as I am no effort was made to establish an aware, Irish Volun6eer company. On the other hand, Carrick-on-Suir held amongst the towns of Ireland the unenviable distinction of, in proportion to its population, giving the second highest percentage of recruits to the British Army.

ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the constitutive rhetorical strategies of revolutionary Irish nationalists operating transnationally from 1858-1876. Collectively known as the Fenians, they consisted of the Irish Republican Brotherhood in the United Kingdom and the Fenian Brotherhood in North America. Conceptually grounded in the main schools of Burkean constitutive rhetoric, it examines public and private letters, speeches, Constitutions, Convention Proceedings, published propaganda, and newspaper arguments of the Fenian counterpublic. It argues two main points. First, the separate national constraints imposed by England and the United States necessitated discursive and non- discursive rhetorical responses in each locale that made

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.
