Cllr Seamus Hanafin seeks re-alignment of Clongour junction in Thurles

The junction will be tended to as part of the development of the new Lidl store on the former Erins Foods site

Fianna Fail Cllr Seamus Hanafin has called for the junction between Clongour and Slievenamon Road in Thurles to be properly re-aligned to allow large trucks to easily turn.

Junction re-alignment work some time ago resulted in making life very difficult for articulated trucks managing the junction with the trucks having to mount the footpaths and damaging bollards which were put in place for safety.

Chairman of the Templemore Thurles Municipal District Council, Councillor Seamus Hanafin has welcomed the work and said that the road surface has been causing problems for some time.

District Engineer, Mr Thomas Duffy said that the TII is responsible for the road realignment work which should cater for large trucks. He pledged to check it out and revert to the members.
