LATEST: New café in local Tipperary town hoping to open before Christmas
The matter was discussed during the recent meeting of the Thurles Municipal District of the Tipperary County Council
A café in the new Market Quarter in Thurles is aiming to open by the end of this year.
The matter was discussed during the September meeting of the Thurles Municipal District of the Tipperary County Council.
Cllr Kay Cahill Skehan enquired to the district engineers about an update regarding the site.
The Market Quarter development will total a cost of over €3 million, with the intention of creating a new community space located behind the Source Arts Centre.
Cllr Cahill Skehan enquired about the café set to be installed on the site, stating that she hoped to see it open to the public in time for Christmas this year.
District administrator Sharon Scully responded that the Council is due to receive the site back in November, with their hope being to have the café opened by the end of 2025.
Also during the meeting, Cllr Cahill Skehan mentioned that she felt as though the new two-hour parking limits that have been installed in both the Slievenamon Road and Parnell Street car parks have proven to be effective, and enquired as to what the latest update was regarding future extensions of the car parks.
The district engineers responded that the matter was currently with their legal team, and that any possible extensions will not happen until 2026.
