Delays in getting bespoke materials prevent final touches to square in Tullamore

DELAYS in getting some bespoke materials have prevented the finalization of work on Millennium Square on Main Street in Tullamore. 

Engineer with Offaly County Council, Joe Dooley said work on the square is 98% complete but they are awaiting three light columns and some steel bollards to give it the finishing touch.

Mr Dooley said the council may place removable picnic tables under the canopies which can be easily taken out for various events or for musicians and bands. 

A deep clean will then be carried out on the square and it is  hoped it will become a venue for some outdoor events similar to those which have already taken place in O’Connor Square but on a smaller scale. 

The work was carried out by Tower Civil Engineering and Joe Dooley has praised them for their high standard of workmanship.
