The club would like to sincerely thank South Tipperary Development Company & Tipperary LCDC for their support, help and advice in getting this project completed. Since its completion last year, the walkway has been widely used by young and old who want to get out and exercise in a safe environment. It has proven to be a great resource for the local community. The lights will be on in the GAA pitch for the “Ireland Lights Up” initiative that takes place every Tuesday & Wednesday from 7 – 9pm until Wednesday March 2.

BOOST FOR CAHIR TO CASHEL GREENWAY

The Cahir to Cashel Greenway received a considerable boost recently when it was included in Minister Eamon Ryan’s allocation for the next phase of funding. This announcement has been welcomed by local Cllr. Andy Moloney, whose earlier motion to the Council had secured €20,000 for the project. The recent €90,000 allocation gives further hope that a cycle path to join Cahir and Cashel with the village of New Inn as a stopover for refreshments could yet become a reality. Cllr. Moloney welcomed the announcement as showing that the route is still in the pipeline but said that political pressure on a higher level will be needed to get it over the line once a design and plan is completed. The route will be shovel ready and lands along the side of the old road (N8) are dormant and safe since the M8 opened. Originally, it was thought that the N8 could be realigned and include a painted lane, but engineering experts have suggested using the wide grass margin and taking it off road. There are also options to use the lands near the motorway as an alternative but Cllr. Moloney noted that including the village of New Inn would “bring it back to life and will be a welcome boost for the area”. For now, the project is progressing apace and connectivity of both towns via a greenway would be a huge boost to both towns from a tourism perspective.

SINCERE SYMPATHY 

Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of late Rena O’Connor, Mountain Rd, Cahir on her passing. Our thoughts & prayers are with her daughters Georgina, Majella and Lisa and families. We had many a good night in her company playing cards in the old schoolhouse in Knockgraffon. May heaven be her bed. Knockgraffon cards committee 

SINCERE SYMPATHY 

Is extended to the family of the late Willie Flynn Snr, Outrath. Willie is deeply regretted by his wife Mary, daughters Martina Durkan & Alma Quinn, sons Tommy and Willie, extended family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. Willie was a stalwart of Rockwell Rovers club, a great clubman, and he will be deeply missed. May he rest in Peace! Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis.
