Here are some of this week's headlines:

Irish Water has been fined €1,000 for failure to upgrade the Mullinahone wastewater treatment plant.

2. Tipperary defibrillator group launches appeal for new volunteers for vital service

A Tipperary defibrillator group is looking for volunteers. 

The group covers defibrillators in Gortnahoe/Glengoole, Grange, Ballysloe and Mary Willies pub and is looking for people from each area to look after their own equipment. 

The previous group had to disband due to a shortage of volunteers but says the defibrillator is very important and would like locals to support its maintenance.

3. Councillors seek HSE's assurance that Ballingarry's GP service won't be disrupted due to retirements

Carrick-on-Suir MD councillors are concerned about Ballinagrry GP service. 

The two family doctors are set to retire, and as of yet, there is no replacement.

Councillors have agreed to write to the chief officer of the Community Health Organisation.

5. Harty Cup final

And finally, Cashel Community School beat the CBS Thurles in last weekend’s Harty Cup final.
