This document will be finalised after consultation with all stakeholders with an interest in walking and cycling and thereafter will be used as a guidance document for the development of each of the five towns as an Active Travel Town. This Strategy has been prepared by the South Tipperary County Council and Kieran Boyle Consulting together with the Borough Council of Clonmel and the Town Councils of Carrick on Suir, Tipperary and Cashel. The Strategy is being funding from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and will guide investment in initiatives and infrastructure improvements, as funding allows, and with the active participation of the communities in each town. This Strategy is set out in the following format: Section 1 Sets out the vision and objectives of the strategy together with reference to the National Cycle Manual and the Strategic Environmental Assessment. Section 2 Outlines the analysis carried out for each town in terms of the current travel behaviour. Section 3 Outlines the consultation that has taken place to date. Section 4 Sets out the behavioural change initiatives that will be implemented in each town. Sections 5 to 9 Set out the characteristics and infrastructural recommendations for each town including a prioritised and costed implementation plan for each urban area. Section 10 Summarises the targets for mode share and behavioural change initiatives together with the monitoring and evaluation process for the Strategy. Appendices A to E The maps for each town are contained in Appendices A to E for ease of reference. The delivery of the Walking and Cycling Strategy will be coordinated by the County Council and the Smarter Travel Officer will assume overall responsibility for the delivery of the Strategy in each of the five towns. 1 South Tipperary Active Travel Towns: Walking and Cycling Strategy Final August 2013 1.2 VISION Vision Clonmel, Carrick on Suir, Tipperary, Cashel and Cahir will be developed as Active Travel Towns through the implementation of a Walking and Cycling Strategy for each town that will promote behavioural change, provide safe and convenient walking and cycling routes and will improve the health and quality of life of everybody in the community. The Strategy will be based on the development of complementary behavioural change initiatives and improvements to walking and cycling infrastructure in each of the towns. Behavioural change measures will include school travel plans, workplace travel plans and the development of an Active Travel Town Forum in each of the five towns. The phased implementation of infrastructure improvement works will prioritise walking and cycling for travel to work, education, shopping and day to day business in the towns whilst also providing high quality routes for leisure and fitness activities. The Strategy has been developed with a view to the future development of each town as set out in their respective development plans as listed below. This will ensure that as each town develops the provision of walking and cycling infrastructure will also develop as an integrated network of routes that will serve the desire routes for short trips within the towns. x Draft South Tipperary Sustainable Transport Strategy 2012 x Clonmel Town & Environs Development Plan 2008 x Clonmel Town & Environs Draft Development Plan 2013 x Clonmel Traffic Management Plan 2006 x Clonmel & Environs Outline Walking & Cycling Strategy 2012-2019 x Carrick-on-Suir Development Plan 2008 x Cashel Public Realm Plan 2008 x Tipperary Town and Environs Development Plan 2007 x Tipperary Town Draft Development Plan 2012. x Cashel Town and Environs Development Plan 2009 x Cahir Local Area Plan 2011 2 South Tipperary Active Travel Towns: Walking and Cycling Strategy Final August 2013 1.3 POLICY CONTEXT SmarterTravel The SmarterTravel policy was adopted by the Department of Transport in 2009 and forms the primary policy context for the Walking and Cycling Strategy. Smarter Travel has brought sustainable travel to the forefront of public policy and represents a new paradigm in Transport policy for Ireland which, for the first time, places walking and cycling at the centre of transport policy and infrastructure delivery. National Cycle Policy Framework As part of the policy, the National Cycle Policy Framework (NCPF) was developed; this sets a national target of 10% of all trips being made by bike in 2020 and a vision to create a strong cycling culture in Ireland. Achieving these targets will require, in particular, road and cycleway improvements within the urban areas, including revisions to speed limits, junction improvements and the reallocation of road space to safely accommodate cyclists. Educational and marketing programmes aimed at promoting the health and economic benefits of walking and cycling will help encourage the mindset shift required to achieve this aim. Active Travel Towns Following on from the Smarter Travel policy in early 2012 the Government announced the Active Travel Towns 5 year multi-annual funding support programme. The scheme is principally for the strategic development of strategies and infrastructures to support walking and cycling in towns outside the Greater Dublin Area. In order to apply for funding under this programme each town must firstly develop a walking and cycling strategy that sets out a coherent action plan to deliver both behavioural change initiatives and infrastructural improvements. The Government recognises that to achieve its target of 10% of all trips being made by bike and the overall modal shift noted within Smarter Travel will require a focus on population and employment centres. The principal objective of Active Travel Towns is to achieve modal shift from car to either walking or cycling. This objective will be delivered through the following: 3 South Tipperary Active Travel Towns: Walking and Cycling Strategy Final August 2013 Active Travel Town Objectives The provision of safer routes for people to travel by bike or on foot A reduction in short-distance car journeys through the availability of good quality travel information and alternative infrastructure Community involvement Improved walking and cycling access to public transport Tie-in with schools/colleges and workplace plans both through existing programmes and new linkages. The Smarter Travel policy and the Active Travel Town programme is about changing unsustainable habits in travel patterns and reducing the health and environmental impacts of current travel patterns. Achieving the vision and goals of the policy and programme will lead to improved communities, a more efficient economy, a healthier and more active population and improved quality of life for all. South Tipperary Walking and Cycling Strategy The South Tipperary Walking and Cycling Strategy is a direct response to the Active Travel Town programme and the strategy is based on providing both infrastructural improvements and initiatives to change personal travel behaviour in order to achieve a modal shift away from car usage to the more sustainable modes of walking and cycling. Infrastructural improvements will be delivered in a focussed way that will improve the existing network by removing barriers, improving the connectivity of the network and providing quality links connecting the communities to key destinations. These should be delivered per the ‘Hierarchy of Solutions’ as noted within the National Cycling Policy Framework and National Cycle Manual (see section 1.5 below). Initiatives should not just focus on travel for school, work or shopping purposes, but should also link into and encourage active travel for leisure and recreational purposes. Lapsed cyclists are more likely to begin cycling again for leisure purposes than for commuting, and once they begin cycling for leisure it is more likely people will cycle for everyday usage. Examples of SmarterTravel in Ireland Limerick, Westport and Dungarvan are examples of towns in Ireland where Smarter Travel is being delivered on the ground. These towns are the designated Smarter Travel Areas that have been allocated funding over a five year period from 2012 to 2016 to implement behavioural change initiatives and infrastructural improvement projects.

Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy.

I was born in Cashel, Co. Tipperary in July, 1898. I attended the national school in Cashel until I was twelve years of age, and then, for a couple of years, I worked with farmers in the vicinity of Cashel. My father died when I was very young. About the end of the year 1914. I joined the British Army, and when the Rising of Easter took place my battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment was stationed in Richmond Barracks, Dublin, where many of the prisoners were detained during the weeks that followed the Rising. Except Pierce McCann, who was a native of Dualla, near Cashel, I knew none of the men who were prisoners. The attitude of the men of our battalion towards the prisoners was, I might say, one of sympathy and respect. After the first few executions we found ourselves listening in the early hours of the morning for the sound of shots from Kilmainham Prison and wondering how many more of the prisoners had gone to their doom.

    N24 Waterford to Cahir Public Consultation Constraints Study May 2021 N24 Waterford to Cahir Public Consultation Constraints Study | May 2021 Project Background and Description Kilkenny County Council, in partnership with Tipperary County Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and the Department of Transport (DoT) are developing the N24 Waterford to Cahir Project. The project has been identified for progression through pre-appraisal and early planning under the National Development Plan 2018-2027. The N24 national primary road is a strategic corridor linking the cities of Limerick and Waterford, traversing through the counties of Limerick, Tipperary and Kilkenny, with a total length of approximately 116km. The route also forms part of the strategic link between Shannon Foynes Port (via the M7, N18 and N69) and the Port of Waterford (via the N9, N25 and N29) and Rosslare Europort (via the N9 and N25). The N24 is recognised as being of importance in enhancing regional connectivity and increasing accessibility to key towns it passes through, including Tipperary Town, Cahir, Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir, Mooncoin and other rural hinterland. The section of the N24 being considered by this project is approximately 60km in length. It extends from the M8 Junction 10 Cahir North Roundabout, north of Cahir in Co. Tipperary to the southern terminal of the M9 Dublin to Waterford motorway at the Quarry Roundabout, north of Waterford City in Co. Kilkenny. National Road projects are progressed through Phases 0 to 7 in line with TII’s Project Management Guidelines.The need for intervention has been identified in Phase 1 (Concept and Feasibility) and project specific objectives have been established.
