New business opens their doors in this West Tipperary town
Nagra Barber is the latest grooming spot to open in Tipperary Town in the last number of weeks
Another vacant property in a West Tipperary town has been given a new lease of life with the opening of a new business.
The new business has opened its doors at 9, Main Street, Tipperary Town, and will operate as a barber shop.
Nagra Barber is the latest grooming spot to open in Tipperary Town of late, with Shami Cutz opening across the road a number of weeks ago.
The staff of Nagra Barber have over 35 years of experience of cutting and styling hair.
Locals on social media have wished the new business well, with one saying "fantastic to see the derelict shops being restored. Good Luck."
Another said: "I was wondering where my favourite barber had gone from Whiffles, that's me sorted out, best of luck buddy, I'll be in on Thursday."
"Best of luck in your new business," another person wrote.
The new business opening comes just weeks after there was outrage on social media about the opening of another barber shop, Shami Cutz, across the road.
Shami Cutz now occupies a previously empty building on Main Street and while many are grateful that a new business is booming in the location, not all are.
"I'd rather go shop Irish thanks," read one comment on the The Nationalist newspaper's social media, where an article was written on the opening of the barber shop while others made wild accusations and more racist remarks.
The Syrian-owned barber shop has done nothing but aim to serve the local community before it quickly became the target of racist comments and hostility.
However, these comments do not speak for all as many left kind words and well wishes to the new business.
One person said: "Fair play to him. You'd all be moaning if he was drawing the dole. Congratulations on the new business."
