Ford Ireland Brings ‘Drive for your Community’ to Tipperary in Support of Irish Guide Dogs

Ford Ireland is bringing its ‘Drive for your Community’ initiative to Tipperary, giving local drivers the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a brand-new Ford while raising vital funds for Irish Guide Dogs. The event, taking place at Barlo Motors, Davis Road, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, E91 TK83 on September 24th, is part of Ford Ireland’s nationwide Drive for your Community campaign, which returns for its second year following the success of the 2025 initiative. Last autumn, the campaign raised €26,310 for Irish Guide Dogs. This year, Ford has teamed

up with the charity once again, with an expanded series of testdrive events taking place across Ireland. For every valid test drive taken at the Tipperary event, Ford will donate €30 to Irish Guide Dogs, with up to 200 test drives and a maximum donation of €6,000 per event. Local drivers will have the opportunity to experience Ford’s latest range of vehicles, including the All-Electric Explorer, All-Electric Capri and All-Electric Puma Gen-E, while helping to support the life-changing work of Irish Guide Dogs. John Manning, Market Lead,

Ford Ireland, said: “We’re incredibly proud to bring Drive for your Community back for a second year following the fantastic response to the initiative in 2025. Last year, our customers and dealer partners helped raise €26,310 for Irish Guide Dogs, and this year we’re aiming to build on that success with even more events taking place across the country. It’s a simple idea: take a test drive in a new Ford and help make a meaningful difference.” Local drivers are encouraged to come along to Barlo Motors on September 24th and take part. A little drive could go a long way!

The Philly Ryan Cup - a lasting tribute to an outstanding Commercials and Tipperary football man By Matt Hogan The Talbot Hotel in Clonmel was the setting for a special and emotional evening on Tuesday, 15 September, as the Philly Ryan Cup was officially launched. Philly’s family, friends, former teammates and representatives of Clonmel Commercials and Tipperary GAA gathered to mark the naming of the Tipperary Senior Football Championship trophy in his honour. The most poignant moment of the evening came when Philly’s wife Anna, daughters Amy and Katie, and son Shane formally presented the cup to Tipperary GAA County CEO Murtagh Brennan, alongside representatives of Clonmel Commercials. There was naturally a sense of sadness on the night, but also great pride in seeing Philly’s name placed permanently on the trophy awarded to the Tipperary senior football champions. Throughout the evening, those present reflected on the many roles Philly played in the game over the years player, captain, coach, manager, mentor, clubman and friend. His achievements on the field were considerable, but the night

was about much more than medals and matches. It was about the person Philly was, the respect he earned throughout the county whether they played alongside him, were coached by him or simply shared a dressing room, sideline or through many a social outing. A proud Clonmel Commercials man throughout his life, Philly won five Tipperary Senior Football Championships with the club. He also represented Tipperary for 16 years and captained the county to the All-Ireland Senior B Football Championship title in 1995. His involvement with Tipperary football continued long after his playing days. He served his club and county in several coaching and management roles before being appointed Tipperary senior football manager for the 2025 season. While those achievements were rightly remembered, perhaps the strongest theme running through the evening was Philly’s commitment to Tipperary football and the friendships he formed across the county during a lifetime in the game.

For Clonmel Commercials, it was a particularly proud occasion. The club was honoured to stand alongside Philly’s family for the presentation of the cup and to see his contribution to football recognised in such a lasting way. From this year, the winners of the Tipperary Senior Football Championship will lift the Philly Ryan Cup. Future generations of players will compete for a trophy carrying the name of a man who gave so much to football in Clonmel and throughout Tipperary. Clonmel Commercials would like to sincerely thank Tipperary GAA for supporting this fitting tribute, the Talbot Hotel for hosting the launch, and everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable one. Most importantly, we thank Anna, Amy, Katie and Shane. Their presence and involvement made the occasion all the more meaningful. It was a night of memories, emotion and pride, and a fitting tribute to a man whose name will now hold a permanent place in the history of Tipperary football.

Good Shepherd Centre Extends Clonmel Homeless Service Hours with Vision for 24-Hour Support The Good Shepherd Centre has announced an expansion of its homelessness service in Clonmel, with extended daytime support hours coming into effect from Monday, September 21. The service, which currently operates overnight from 9pm to 1pm daily, will now open until 5pm daily, providing additional support and engagement opportunities for homeless people in South Tipperary. The enhanced service builds on significant growth in the organisation’s Clonmel operations, where emergency accommodation stands at 16, alongside the provision of five additional Cold Weather Initiative beds during periods of severe weather. The service is also currently looking at two other venues for cold weather

beds in Tipperary to cater for homeless people in the county this winter. Noel Sherry, CEO of the Good Shepherd Centre Clonmel, said: “This is an important milestone for homelessness services in Clonmel. Extending our day service to 5pm will allow us to provide greater support, more one-to-one engagement and improved access to the services people need to rebuild their lives. We know that homelessness is rarely just about a lack of accommodation. Many people are dealing with complex challenges including mental health difficulties, addiction, social isolation and financial hardship. Longer opening hours mean we can provide more practical support and spend more time

helping people move towards stable housing. We are currently working to secure the funding required to develop the service into a full 24-hour operation and we are hopeful this will be achieved by December.” The Good Shepherd Centre supports individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness across eight counties and now employs almost 90 staff delivering frontline housing, homelessness prevention and support services. The organisation said the extension of opening hours reflects its commitment to ensuring Tipperary people experiencing homelessness have access to the support, dignity and stability they need to move beyond crisis and towards a place to call home.

Department decision not to Healy calls for immediate renew Dundrum House IPAS restoration of men’s shed grant contract hugely significant – Deputy Michael Murphy Fine Gael TD for Tipperary South, Deputy Michael Murphy, has welcomed confirmation that the Department does not intend to renew the IPAS accommodation contract at Dundrum House when it expires in March 2027, describing the decision as a hugely significant development for Dundrum and the wider community. Deputy Murphy, who has consistently raised concerns regarding planning and compliance issues at the property, said the focus must now also turn towards securing a positive long-term future for the historic hotel and resort. Deputy Murphy said: “This is a hugely significant development for Dundrum and one which I very much welcome. “I have been outspoken on this issue for a considerable period of time and have consistently raised serious concerns regarding planning, compliance and the suitability of the Dundrum House site. “Those concerns could not simply be dismissed or ignored, particularly following the significant decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála in relation to the planning status of the development. “Following that decision, I made my position very clear. I did not believe it was appropriate for the State to simply continue with business as usual at Dundrum House, and I called for the IPAS contract to be brought to an end. “I therefore welcome confirmation that the Department does not intend to renew the contract

when it expires in March 2027. “I particularly want to acknowledge the local community in Dundrum and the surrounding area. They have put up with an enormous amount of uncertainty over a prolonged period and deserve considerable credit for the manner in which they have continued to raise legitimate concerns. “They attended meetings, engaged with public representatives and pursued their concerns through the appropriate channels. There were times when people locally genuinely felt they were not being listened to, but they persisted. I know from speaking with many of them just how difficult and frustrating this period has been. “There is also an important principle involved here. The State cannot expect one set of planning rules to apply to ordinary families and businesses and another set to apply to itself. Planning law has to mean something and it has to apply equally. “At the same time, there are people currently living at Dundrum House who will be directly affected by this decision. They must be treated with dignity and respect, and the relocation process over the coming months must be managed properly and sensitively. My criticism throughout has been directed at the decisions of the State and the planning and compliance issues surrounding the property, not at the people accommodated there. “Now, however, we also need to

look forward. “Dundrum House has a long and proud history as a hotel and resort and, for generations, has been an important part of the economic and social fabric of this community. Many local families have memories of weddings, functions, employment and occasions celebrated there. “It remains a significant property with enormous potential. I would dearly like to see a future for Dundrum House which once again allows it to contribute positively to tourism, employment and economic activity in West Tipperary. “That will not happen overnight and there will undoubtedly be issues that have to be addressed. But this is an opportunity for everybody to work together — the receiver, the local community, Tipperary County Council, Government agencies and public representatives — to explore what can realistically be achieved for the site. “After a very difficult chapter, I believe the emphasis should now be on bringing people together and looking positively towards the future. “Dundrum House has been an important part of this community before. I believe it has the potential to be an important part of its future as well. “I will be very happy to play my part in bringing the relevant people around the table and working constructively towards that objective, concluded Deputy Murphy”

Tipperary TD Seamus Healy has called for the immediate restoration of funding for Men’s Sheds, warning that the loss of the grant could have serious consequences for groups across the country. Deputy Healy raised the issue in the Dáil, calling on Minister Dara Calleary to restore the Men’s Shed grant for 2025–26 and highlighting the importance of the organisations to communities throughout Ireland. He said approximately 500 Men’s Sheds could be affected and argued that, while the grant involved relatively modest sums, it helped groups meet essential running costs including rent, insurance, electricity, heating and water. “The withdrawal of the grant will have serious consequences for the sheds,” Deputy Healy told the Dáil. “Many will have to cut opening hours or reduce activities and some will face closure.” He described Men’s Sheds as

being at the heart of many communities, providing places where men can meet, socialise, share skills and build friendships. He also highlighted their role in combating isolation and loneliness and providing opportunities for members to support one another. “This is a small grant that delivers enormous benefits in communities across Ireland,” Deputy Healy said, calling for its immediate restoration. Responding to the issue, Minister Helen McEntee acknowledged the contribution made by Men’s Sheds and said she would raise Deputy Healy’s concerns directly with Minister Calleary. Minister McEntee said the sheds provided important places for men to meet, take part in activities and discuss issues affecting them. She said funding had previously been provided through different Government de-

partments and indicated that support for Men’s Sheds would continue, although the precise funding arrangements would be determined as part of the Budget process. “I will raise the Deputy’s concerns directly with the Minister, Deputy Calleary,” she said. The issue of funding for Men’s Sheds has been raised previously in the Dáil. In March 2025, Deputy Healy said he had been contacted by 17 Men’s Sheds in County Tipperary concerned about their future viability. At that time, he called for the reinstatement of ring-fenced funding that had previously provided grants of up to €3,000 per shed. Minister Calleary said at the time that Men’s Sheds played an important role in tackling social isolation and helping people to build friendships, while pointing to a Programme for Government commitment to continue funding Men’s Sheds.

Inter-Departmental ‘blind spot’ hiding reality of vulnerable children falling into crime Mattie McGrath TD Independent TD for Tipperary Mattie McGrath has accused the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley, of delivering a “flowery and evasive” response to critical questions he asked her regarding both the safety and criminality risks of children in State care. Deputy McGrath had sought information on the number of children in Tusla’s care who have come to the attention of An Garda Síochána in each of the past five years and whether Tusla is adequately providing for children at risk of reoffending. Speaking following his exchange in the Dáil, Deputy McGrath expressed his deep alarm at the minister’s admission that while over 5,000 children are currently in the care of the State, her Department lacks robust, localised data to track how many are falling through the cracks into confrontations with the criminal justice system. “To have over 5,000 vulnerable children under the watch of the State and yet hear a minister admit that her department lacks

the hard data to know what is actually happening in terms of the number of children engaging in crime is an absolute scandal,” said Deputy McGrath. “The Minister gave a nice, scripted, flowery answer trying to pass the buck between Tusla and the Department of Justice, but the reality is that child welfare and youth offending are intrinsically linked. As Minister for Children she should at least display a minimal level of interest in this or at least commit to establishing that information so there can be better cooperation between government departments and the Gardaí.” Deputy McGrath also raised serious concerns during his questioning regarding the “appalling vista” of children going missing while under State supervision, explicitly referencing past reports of children being trafficked or exposed to sexual exploitation in hotels while in the care of the State. “While I agree with the minister that the vast majority of children in state care never come into

contact with the gardaí and that they need and deserve our support, it is not the government’s job is not to congratulate itself on the majority while abandoning or having no information on the minority who either fall through the cracks and engage in persistent anti-social or criminal behaviour, or who are the victims of appalling exploitation.” “Tusla is yet again proving itself wholly unfit for purpose in these complex cases, and there is a total vacuum of accountability.” The Tipperary TD concluded by stating: “When children are taken into State care, the State effectively becomes their guardian. The State must know where they are and whether they are safe. We cannot just wish this worrying trend away with bureaucratic deflections. We also need data and accountability for the communities who are being terrified by a small minority of children both inside and outside of State care who engage in serious and persistent acts of criminality.”

Screamland 2026: Le Chéile Cashel Gears Up for Our Biggest Haunt Yet As the autumn leaves begin to turn and the evenings draw in, a familiar, thrilling chill is returning to the air in our historic town. Le Chéile Cashel is thrilled to announce that preparations for Screamland 2026 are officially kicking off. The community group is already hard at work laying the groundwork for what promises to be the most spectacular and spine-tingling attraction to date. Over the past two years, Screamland has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of Cashel’s autumn calendar. Thanks to the incredible dedication of Le Chéile, they have successfully produced two phenomenal events that brought scares, laughs, and unforgettable memories to families and thrill-seekers alike. From the eerie corridors of its haunted setups to the incredibly detailed

spooky scenes, the past two years they have shown exactly what this town can achieve when it all comes together. The overwhelming success of our 2024 and 2025 events has certainly set a high bar, but Le Chéile Cashel is ready to rise to the challenge. This year, the planning committee is pulling out all the stops to ensure Screamland 2026 is bigger, better, and more terrifyingly brilliant than ever before. They are exploring new themes, expanding the interactive elements of the haunted experience, and dreaming up fresh surprises that will keep visitors on their toes. Early design meetings have already sparked fantastic ideas, from immersive lighting and soundscapes to intricate set pieces that will transform the Old Fire Station into a true wonderland of frights. The ambition is high,

and the enthusiasm within the group is palpable as it looks to elevate the event to completely new heights. However, an event of this scale is entirely dependent on the spirit and generosity of our community. Le Chéile Cashel would love to see more volunteers getting involved in bringing Screamland 2026 to life. They are putting out an open call to anyone who might have a few hours to spare over the coming weeks. Whether you are handy with a hammer and want to help with building the sets, have a creative eye for decorating and prop-making, or simply want to help out with the running of the event and stewarding on the nights themselves, there is a role for you. If you are interested in being part of the magic behind the scares, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can contact any member of

Le Chéile Cashel to express your interest. You will be made to feel

Cashel Dairy Farmer Named Inaugural Tirlán Lighthouse Farm Pioneer Local Cashel dairy farmer John Dwyer has been selected as one of just eight inaugural Tirlán FarmElevate Lighthouse Farms, spearheading a major new agricultural initiative. Hailing from Ballytarsna, Mr Dwyer will play a crucial role in a pioneering five-year programme developed in partnership with Teagasc, which is designed to boost farm productivity, profitability, and sustainability across the country through dedicated peer-to-peer learning. Chosen from across the extensive Tirlán catchment area, the Dwyer farm was selected for its exceptional farm management, innovative day-to-day practices, and a strong commitment to knowledge sharing. As a designated Lighthouse Farm, the Cashel enterprise will actively showcase its operational strengths to peers, focusing on critical industry areas such as grassland and nutrient management, progressive breeding, labour efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and overall

business resilience. The ambitious initiative was officially launched recently at the Murphy family farm in Bennettsbridge, County Kilkenny. Speaking at the event, Tirlán Chief Executive Seán Molloy emphasised the real-world benefits of the scheme. “FarmElevate is about supporting farm families with practical solutions that strengthen profitability, sustainability and resilience,” Mr Molloy stated. “By opening their farms and sharing their experiences, these eight families will help fellow suppliers adopt proven practices and build stronger businesses.” Tirlán Chairperson Ger O’Brien highlighted that the initiative is deeply rooted in the proven success of farmer-to-farmer learning. He noted that over the next five years, FarmElevate will create one of Ireland’s most formidable knowledge networks, accelerating the adoption of new management practices that deliver tangible economic and environmental benefits.

Professor Frank O’Mara, Director of Teagasc, warmly welcomed the partnership.

Tipperary storm to victory in National Inter-County Pitch & Putt Shield In a masterful display of precision, focus, and teamwork, Tipperary clinched the prestigious National Inter-County Shield Intermediate title with a commanding performance at Larkspur Park Pitch & Putt Club. The Premier County’s exceptional six-man roster secured the coveted championship with a stunning aggregate score of 39-under-par, comfortably outshining their provincial rivals on a thrilling day of competitive action. The victorious Tipperary squad— comprising Tim Crowe, Ken Hayes, Adrian Anglim, Dean Courtney, John Minogue, and Sean Minogue—proved utterly unstoppable on the pristine Larkspur Park greens. Demonstrating remarkable consistency throughout the tournament, they finished a massive 13 shots clear of their nearest challengers. Meath put up a valiant and spirited effort to claim the runner-up spot, finishing with a highly respectable score of 26-under-par. Kerry took home third place after battling hard to finish on 22-under-par, while Galway rounded out the elite provincial quartet in fourth position with a final team score of 6-under-par. A major catalyst for Tipperary’s runaway success was their absolute

dominance in the Scotch Foursomes format. The dynamic pairing of Tim Crowe and Ken Hayes led the charge for the champions, returning an awe-inspiring card of 10-under-par to set an imposing tone for the remainder of the field. The singles matchups proved equally fruitful and fiercely competitive. Tipperary’s John Minogue and Sean Minogue both delivered flawless rounds, each signing for superb individual scores of 5-under-par. They shared the title of top singles scorers for the tournament alongside Meath’s Anthony Kavanagh and Dominic Hynes, who also navigated the challenging course brilliantly to shoot 5-under-par respectively. The event served as a true celebration of the sport, bringing together four top-tier counties to proudly represent their respective provinces on the national stage. Organisers extended their sincere gratitude to Larkspur Park Pitch & Putt Club for providing a magnificent venue and keeping the course in true championship condition. Special thanks were also warmly directed to the dedicated volunteers and local staff whose tireless assistance ensured the seamless running of a highly successful and memorable competition.

Against the elements: Dualla Show triumphs in spectacular fashion after weather delay Two weeks ago, the sprawling fields of Dualla were a vibrant tapestry of pristine livestock, gleaming agricultural machinery, bustling artisan food stalls, and thousands of smiling faces. It was a picture-perfect scene of rural Irish life at its absolute finest. Yet, for the exhausted but elated organizing committee looking out over the crowds, simply opening the gates was a hard-won victory. The 2026 Dualla Show will undoubtedly go down in local history, not just for the exceptional quality of its agricultural entries, but for the sheer resilience that ensured the event happened at all. Originally slated for the final weekend of August, the beloved annual event found itself at the mercy of a cruel and unseasonable weather front. Torrential downpours in the crucial days leading up to the event left the usually firm showgrounds heavily waterlogged. With the ground softening by the hour, organizers were faced with a logistical nightmare: the very real danger of heavy tractors sinking into the mud, and the unacceptable safety risks for the hundreds of animals and thousands of visitors expected to descend upon the site. Faced with the devastating prospect of a total cancellation, a move that would have dealt a massive financial and social blow to the Show, the committee made the courageous, eleventh-hour decision to postpone the show by exactly one week. Rescheduling an event of this magnitude is a Herculean task. It involves renegotiating land access, overhauling insurance policies, and engaging in round-the-clock communications with judges, competitors, and local authorities. However, the organizers did a truly fantastic job of getting the show back on the road. Over the intervening seven days, ground crews worked tirelessly. Their sleepless nights paid off in dividends when the sun finally broke through, drying the fields just in time for the rescheduled date. Perhaps the most remarkable narrative of the rescheduled show, however, was the unwavering loyalty of the commercial partners. In the event industry, a sudden date change traditionally spells disaster for vendor turnout, as traders are often booked

months in advance for competing weekend events. Yet, the Dualla Show defied all the odds. When the gates opened on that Sunday morning two weeks ago, attendees were met with an incredibly welcome sight: almost every single stall, vendor, and food truck had returned. The bustling commercial heart of the show remained completely intact. The artisan food village was brimming with local Tipperary producers serving everything from slow-roasted local beef to award-winning farmhouse cheeses. Down the main thoroughfare, the sprawling machinery exhibitions, always a massive draw for the agriculturally minded, were fully populated. Representatives from the country’s leading tractor and agri-tech dealerships had rearranged their busy schedules to be there, polishing their towering combine harvesters and precision-seeding technology to a mirror shine. “We had a few nervous days, wondering if the traders could afford to come back,” admitted one committee member on the morning of the show. “But the response was phenomenal. They knew how much this meant to the community, and they moved heaven and earth to be here. It really saved the atmosphere of the entire day.” While the commercial stalls provided the bustling backdrop, the beating heart of the Dualla Show has always been the agricultural competitions. This year, the rings witnessed some of the fiercest, highest-quality rivalries seen in recent memory. The one-week delay presented a unique and highly stressful challenge for the competing farmers. Bringing an animal to “show condition” involves months of meticulous dietary planning, exercise, and grooming, culminating in a specific peak date. Holding a massive beef bull or a delicate show pony at that absolute peak for an extra seven days is a testament to the supreme skill and dedication of the handlers. The standard across the board was nothing short of spectacular. In the cattle rings, the judges faced agonizingly difficult decisions. The beef classes were a showcase of absolute power and pristine conformation, with the

Charolais and Limousin categories proving particularly contentious. The tension around the parade ring during the selection of the Supreme Cattle Champion was palpable, as the judge spent an extraordinary amount of time agonizing between a flawlessly turned-out Angus heifer and a towering Belgian Blue, before finally making a choice that drew rapturous applause from the ringside crowd. Beyond the agricultural rigors and commercial bustle, the event reaffirmed its reputation as a premier family day out. The showgrounds were alive with the sound of delighted children, for whom the one-week delay simply meant a longer build-up of excitement. There was no shortage of activities to keep the younger attendees enthralled, but the undisputed highlight for many families was the eagerly anticipated return of the “Dualla Train.” The charming locomotive chugged its way around the sprawling site all afternoon, treating packed carriages of beaming children to their annual, beloved spin past the livestock rings and bustling tents. Adding to this festive, family-friendly atmosphere was the phenomenal live entertainment emanating from the main stage. A stellar lineup of well-known local country music singers kept the energy high from midday well into the evening. The familiar twang of guitars and soaring vocals had crowds waltzing and jiving on the temporary dancefloors, ensuring that between the intense agricultural judging and the vendor shopping, the attendees’ feet never stopped tapping. As the sun set on the showgrounds two weeks ago, casting a golden light over the departing tractors and weary but triumphant organizers, the verdict was unanimous. The 2026 Dualla Show was a masterclass in community resilience. It proved that while the Irish weather remains stubbornly unpredictable, the dedication of the agricultural community, and the unyielding determination of a fantastic organizing committee is absolute. They didn’t just save the show; they delivered one of the finest exhibitions of rural life Tipperary has seen in a decade.

Paul Mulhall, Clonmel’s Own Prince Charming There are some people who pass through life quietly, and there are others who leave a little bit of themselves everywhere they go. A laugh you can still hear. A story that gets better every time it is told. A song that suddenly brings you back forty years. A face from your youth that somehow never seems to grow old. Paul Mulhall was one of those guys. For those of us who knew Paul, it is difficult to think of him without first thinking of that smile. It was big, warm and infectious, and usually meant that a laugh or a bit of mischief wasn’t far behind. Paul had a natural way with people. He was confident without ever thinking himself better than anyone else, charming without trying to be, and blessed with that rare ability to make people feel comfortable in his company. He was, quite simply, one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. Paul who passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home on Monday 1st of June 2026. Paul was the eldest son of the late Noel and Mary Mulhall, brother to Derek and Sylvia, and a proud Bianconi Drive man through and through. Bianconi was a huge part of the person Paul became. It was where friendships were made that would last a lifetime and where a young lad with music in his blood, style in abundance and a great sense of fun began making memories that would eventually stretch halfway around the world. Among Paul’s childhood friends were lads like John Doyle R.I.P, Patrick Kelly, Kerina Foran, Eugene Ryan, Declan McGee, and Jenny Ryan along with an army of others far too numerous to mention. Paul and John in particular were buddies from a very early age. They shared a love of music, entertainment, laughter and the craic, and the loss of John affected Paul deeply. Like so many Clonmel youngsters of that generation, Paul’s childhood was spent roaming the places that were our whole world back then. There were days up the Hillyfield blagarding, messing around the Giant’s Rock up the Wildies, and those great summer days spent at the Sandbanks and the Green, where half the town spent swimming in the River Suir and jumping off the convent bridge. Paul attended St Mary’s in Irishtown for primary school before going on to The Tech on the Raheen Road. But if there was one thing that marked Paul out from an early age, it was music. And, of course, Adam Ant. Anyone who remembers Paul in the early 1980s will know exactly what i mean. I have a great memory of him walking down through Bianconi

Drive, waistcoat on, with that unmistakable white stripe painted across his face just below the eyes. Paul wasn’t half hearted about these things. When he liked something, you knew about it. And Paul absolutely loved Adam and the Ants. You could hear Stand and Deliver, Antmusic and Prince Charming belting out of Paul’s bedroom along with lots of other music genres. He didn’t merely listen to the music either, Paul had the confidence and style to dress like his idol. While the rest of us might have thought twice about walking through Clonmel dressed as Adam Ant, Paul would probably have wondered why the rest of us weren’t doing it too. That was Paul. He was never afraid to be himself. Music remained one of the great loves of his life. He became an accomplished drummer and played with bands both in Ireland and later in Australia. Those who remember him playing will tell you he wasn’t just someone who happened to own a set of drums, Paul could really play. He took part in the Bianconi Rock Festival, playing drums with 2XL, a band that included Mossy O’Sullivan and Kieron Judge among its members other names escape me. Paul was part of a generation for whom music wasn’t simply something playing in the background. It mattered. From Bob Marley and reggae to 2 Tone, Duran Duran and, naturally, Adam and the Ants, Paul’s taste was broad, but the passion was always the same. At just 17, Paul left home for England. It was there that he met Caroline, mother of his beloved son Riley. When Paul was 23, he made the enormous decision to head for Australia. What began as a young man’s adventure on a one year visa became a new chapter of his life, and Melbourne became his home. It suited him. He lived near the beach, and with Melbourne’s thriving music scene, Paul had landed in a place that spoke his language. For around 15 years he worked in the clothing industry, a career that seems entirely appropriate for a man who had been giving the rest of us fashion advice since his Adam Ant days. After being made redundant, Paul changed direction and became a carer. It was another side of the man underneath the style, confidence and great humour was a genuinely kind person who cared about people. Australia became home, but Clonmel never stopped being home either. Paul missed his family, his friends, the banter and in particular the craic which cannot be exported, no matter how many Irish people you put together on the other side of the world. He

kept a close eye on what was happening back home and loved the Clonmel Stories Facebook page. It prompted many a phone call and message about people, places and memories from years gone by. And when Paul came home, there were certain places where you had a fair chance of finding him. Phil Carroll’s was a favourite, as was Gleeson’s, while Carey’s in Irishtown was another place where Paul loved nothing more than meeting friends for a drink, a chat and a laugh. I can recall one particular night in London in the 1990s that sums up those days, a gang of us from home had been out on the town and, as the night drew on, we heard music pumping from a basement club. Reason and good judgement might have suggested continuing on home. Naturally, we did the opposite. We knocked at the door and were greeted by a huge man with dreadlocks. Somehow, about ten Clonmel lads, full of drink and looking for the night to continue, were invited downstairs. When we reached the bottom, we could barely see through the smoke. Reggae was pumping and dreadlocked people seemed to be everywhere. We suddenly realised we were the only white people in the building. Paul came over with a look that said everything. “Fish, what are we after letting ourselves in for?” I said we’re here now, we’ll have a bit craic, lets rock That was the only sensible thing to do. We went to the bar, got a few drinks and danced the night away. The Rastas must have wondered who these Clonmel lunatics were, but we had one of the best nights of our lives. We fell out of the club in the early hours with a story none of us would ever forget. The place i remember was called the 91 Club, and the late John Doyle was with us that night. The following day John even wrote a song about the night. The song went something like we bombed, we bombed outta we head, yes we bombed. Years later, during one of my last conversations with Paul, he brought up that very same night. That’s the thing about real friendship. Decades can pass, thousands of miles can separate you, but mention one night, one song or one ridiculous moment and suddenly you are young lads again, laughing as if it happened yesterday. Paul created a lot of memories like that. During one of his visits home, however, something happened that would become far more important than any night out. He met Joanna. Joanna saw something very special in Paul, the same qualities so many others had seen over the

Paul with his wife Joanna years. His kindness. His wit. His self confidence. His emotional intelligence. His ability to connect with people. Paul had made quite an impression. After a number of trips back and forth between Ireland and Australia, Paul and Joanna married in Clonmel. Of all the loves in Paul’s life music, drums, friends, home, family and the craic there was no mistaking the greatest love of his adult life. It was Joanna. Paul was head over heels in love with her, and he wasn’t shy about telling people. In a conversation with himself and Johnny D, Paul put it simply, he had “struck gold” when he married Joanna. She had made him the happiest man on the planet. “She’s the one. Joanna is my everything.” Those weren’t words said for effect. Paul meant them. Even during the difficult months leading up to his passing, when he endured so much, his thoughts constantly returned to Joanna. Paul’s positivity, humour and concern for the woman he loved. “Joanna is my everything.” “She is a keeper.” And, in typical Paul fashion, even when life had become incredibly difficult, there was still humour. He could still joke that he was doing alright, walking around and “annoying Jose.”

That was Paul’s spirit. Life could knock him down, but it had a much harder job taking the smile from his face. And then there was Riley. Paul was enormously proud of his son. Riley was his pride and joy, and Paul loved sharing stories about him. Like any proud father, he enjoyed telling friends about the things they did together. One story involved the pair of them putting together a four wheeler. “It goes like the clappers,” Paul proudly reported. And what did he call it? Bianconi Drive. Thousands of miles away in Australia, and Paul still found a way to put the name of the street where he grew up on something he and his son had built together. That tells you something about what home meant to him. On one of Paul’s trips back to Ireland, he had the pleasure of bringing Riley to Clonmel and showing his son the place that had shaped his own childhood. They visited lots of castle and old haunts, and a gathering was held in Carey’s Pub where Paul’s family and friends could meet Riley. That meant the world to him. Back in Australia, music remained central to family life. Paul had his own man cave, filled with the things he loved, particularly his vinyl and music. During Covid, Riley and his teenage

mates spent plenty of time there. Some fathers might have complained about a gang of teenagers taking over their sanctuary. Paul loved it. Having Riley and his friends close by brought him great joy. That was Paul all over. For him, life was about connection. It was about people. It was about giving someone your time. He maintained friendships both old and new, despite the years and the distance. He didn’t judge people by what they had, where they came from or where life had taken them. Looking down on others simply wasn’t Paul’s way. He met people face to face, usually with a smile, a chat and a laugh. It sounds like a simple quality. It isn’t. Very few people possess it naturally, but Paul did. There was also, of course, his reputation as a style icon. When Jenny and Eddie moved to Melbourne and met Paul, he apparently took one look at what Eddie was wearing and was horrified. “Man, I don’t know what way you’re dressing. I need to take you shopping.” So Paul took Eddie shopping, with a few pubs included along the way. That night Eddie appeared in the outfit Paul had chosen for him. Jenny’s verdict was that he looked

John Doyle (RIP), Patrick Kelly, Paul Mulhall (RIP), and Derek Mulhall.

Rily and Paul like an Irish John Travolta. Perhaps it was best to leave the fashion to Paul. He had, after all, been practising since his days in Bianconi Drive. Paul also carried the loss of his parents, Noel and Mary, deeply. He had enormous love and respect for them, just as family remained central to him throughout his life. No matter how many years he spent in Australia, that connection to the Mulhall family, to Bianconi Drive and to Clonmel never weakened. And neither did the friendships. The passing of his childhood friend John Doyle hit Paul particularly hard. John and Paul had been inseparable as young lads, united by music, entertainment and a shared ability to enjoy life. There is some comfort now in imagining the two old friends reunited somewhere, side by side again, laughing and joking, probably arguing over a song and almost certainly planning a night that sensible people would know better than to join. Paul’s passing leaves an enormous emptiness for Joanna, Riley, Derek, Sylvia, his extended family and his extraordinary circle of friends in Ireland, Australia and beyond. But what a legacy of memories he leaves them.The drummer.The music lover.The vinyl collector. The carer.The loyal friend.The proud father. The devoted husband. The Bianconi Drive boy who

went halfway around the world but never forgot where he came from. The lad walking down the Drive in his waistcoat with a white stripe painted across his face, looking every inch the Adam Ant devotee and not caring in the slightest what anybody thought. The man who could walk into a room and talk to anyone. The friend who didn’t judge.The storyteller. The messer.The style adviser who could turn an Irishman in Melbourne into John Travolta for the night. And above everything else, that smile. At Paul’s funeral service in St Mary’s, Kieron and Tony performed a rendition of Adam and the Ants’ Prince Charming. It is hard to imagine a more fitting farewell. Because long before Australia, before marriage, before children and before the years carried all of us in different directions, there was a young Paul Mulhall walking down through Bianconi Drive dressed like his hero. Only now, looking back, perhaps Paul never really needed to dress like anyone else. He had enough style, charisma and personality of his own. Paul endured a great deal in the final months of his life, but he faced it with remarkable positivity. His thoughts remained with Joanna and those he loved. That tells us far more about the mea-

sure of the man than anything else ever could. He loved life. He loved music. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved a laugh. He loved Clonmel. And he loved Joanna and Riley with all his heart. Some people leave behind possessions. Others leave behind something much more valuable, stories. Paul left hundreds of them. Stories being told in Clonmel and Melbourne. Stories in pubs and sitting rooms. Stories that begin with, “Do you remember the night Paul...” and end with everyone around the table laughing. Those stories will keep him close. So to Joanna, Riley, Derek and Sylvia, to Paul’s family, and to his many, many friends in Ireland and Australia, we offer our deepest condolences. We have lost one of life’s genuinely good guys. A man with a big heart, a fabulous smile, an infectious laugh and an unwavering charisma. A man who gave people his time and his friendship and asked very little in return. A drummer. A dandy highwayman. A Clonmel man. Our Prince Charming. The boy from Bianconi Drive travelled a long way from home, but he never really left us. And he never will. Rest easy, Paul. You will be missed more than words can say, remembered with a smile, and never, ever forgotten. Report by Clonmel Stories.

Tipperary Super Host honoured for fundraising efforts A novice cyclist who once pedalled 160km from Dublin to Lisadobber in Tipperary, has been honoured with a national award for her tireless efforts supporting her local Hospice. Bridget Landy, from Lisadobber, was a recent recipient of a Together for Hospice National Super Host Award, recognising her deep commitment to South Tipperary Hospice Movement, inspired by the Hospice night nurses who cared so well for her father 17 years ago. Bridget was determined to get out of her comfort zone to complete a sponsored cycle and raised €22,000 for her local hospice last year. “Ever since we had the night nurses, almost 17 years ago now, I always said I would like to do one big thing,” she explained. “A couple of night nurses came to stay with dad in the last few days before he died. “They let us try to get a bit of rest and they would chat away about their lives and their kids at home. “I was in awe of them going into a stranger’s house and putting everyone at ease.

“They kind of bring a bit of normality in with them but they also tell you what you need to know and prepare you for the worst. “It was close to Christmas, and I remember one of them sat writing her Christmas cards while she chatted and kept dad company – something about that was just lovely.” Now, alongside daughter Roisín, Bridget is preparing for Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice on September 24, the national campaign which raises essential funds for hospices – with all funds raised locally going to local hospices. She is set to host her annual event in Lisadobber Bar and Grocery Store in Ballyneill, where she also works, on the same day – but hosts can organise events on a date that suits them. “There is a social element to it - some people don’t see each other from one end of the year to the other. “People go and support because they know how a loved one may have been supported over the last few weeks of their life. “I find that almost every

second house near me has been touched by hospice, so it’s great to be able to give back to it. “Everyone is in need of it at some stage - if they haven’t yet, they may need it in the future.” Sean O’Donovan, Chairperson of the South Tipperary Hospice Movement, said: “Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Hospice, one of our longest and most-loved fundraisers, is now in its 34th year raising funds for Hospice in-patient and community services around Ireland. “No matter where you live in Ireland, we are asking everyone to celebrate our countless coffee morning hosts, who give so selflessly of their time and energy in their local communities. “This support is invaluable and funds vital services and quality initiatives, greatly improving care for patients with life-limiting illness.” Register to host a coffee morning on Thursday, September 24 - or on a date that suits you – at hospicecoffeemorning.ie or call 0818 995 996.

By the Cathedral Townie

The Late former Councillor Martin Ryan is laid to rest The passing of former Thurles Town Councillor, Martin Ryan, Fontenoy Terrace, Stradavoher, Thurles this week occasioned great sadness in the Cathedral Town. A man who served the town with great distinction as a member of the Urban District Council, Town Council and Area Council, Martin was on call at all hours to parishioners who needed assistance in so many areas, and was never slow to roll up the sleeves and help out if required. A member of a very well-known and highly respected family in Thurles, Martin worked with the fire and emergency brigade for a time where his expertise was so invaluable. And, he was centrally involved in the St Patrick’s Day parade, Thurles Rugby Club and a host of other organisations and events. Indeed, Thurles RFC paid a fitting tribute to Martin this week stating that, at 95 years of age, he was one of the longest ever members of the club. “Martin’s association with Thurles RFC began in 1952. He played for the club from 1952 until 1966, representing Thurles during an important period in its development. A committed and dependable forward, he was

part of several notable teams and shared in some of the club’s greatest successes of that era. “Martin played on the Tipperary Cup-winning teams of the late 1950s and featured in several Garryowen Cup campaigns. He was a member of the Thurles side that reached the Garryowen Cup Final in 1957 and again in 1959 and 1960. “One of the proudest moments of Martin’s playing career came during the 1961/62 season, when Thurles defeated Waterford to win the Garryowen Cup for the first time in 33 years. “The club history, 100 Years of Rugby in Thurles, records Martin as a prominent member of the Thurles pack and as one of the players who helped drive the team forward during that historic campaign. “Another memorable occasion came in 1966 when Martin and his son Johnny played together for Thurles against Galwegians in Galway. A father and son lining out together for the club was a rare and special achievement and reflected the importance of rugby within the Ryan family. “Martin’s contribution to Thurles RFC extended far beyond the playing field. He served as a committee member from 1952

CBS boys welcome firemen to their school The 1D class from Thurles CBS Secondary School welcomed Michael Mc Carthy and Mark Mulhaire, Thurles branch of Tipperary Fire & Rescue Service this week as part of their CSPE classwork. Michael and Mark answered questions about the work of firefighters, the training they receive and the important role firefighters and fire officers play in keeping the community safe . The firefighters showed the boys the fire engine and explained

the equipment carried on a fire engine, and the speed and professionalism required when responding to emergencies. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the visit and were delighted to have the opportunity to tour the fire engine, sit inside the cab, and even try on the firefighters’ jackets The visit was a great success. It was a fun and informative experience that brought classroom learning to life and possibly sparked an interest in a future career.

until 1993—more than 40 years of continuous commitment to the administration, organisation and development of the club. During those years, he held several important positions, including team secretary and vice-chairman. “Martin also served as a team selector for many years. He brought to the role a lifetime’s knowledge of rugby, a keen understanding of players and an unwavering commitment to selecting the strongest possible Thurles team. He took his responsibility seriously and was never afraid to stand firmly by the decisions made by the selection committee. “He was also well known for his many years of service as a linesman, or touch judge as the position later became known. Martin had his own unique approach to the role and carried out his duties with complete determination. Once Martin made a decision, he remained resolute, regardless of the appeals or opinions coming from players, officials or those watching from the sideline. His firmness, independence and unmistakable manner became part of Thurles rugby folklore and are still remembered with great affection

by those who knew him. “In the 1983/84 season, Martin was elected President of Thurles Rugby Football Club. It was fitting that a man who had already given so much to the club should hold its highest office during another historic season. That year, Thurles won the Garryowen Cup for the third successive season, adding another proud chapter to the club’s history. “Martin belonged to a generation of members whose voluntary work laid the foundations upon which the modern club was built. Through good years and difficult ones, he remained loyal to Thurles RFC. Whether as a player, parent, selector, linesman, committee member, officer or president, he gave generously of his time, knowledge and experience. “His remarkable service from 1952 until 1993 represented more than four decades of dedication to rugby in Thurles. Few people can claim to have contributed to their club for so long or in so many different capacities. Martin Ryan will be remembered with great affection and respect by generations of Thurles rugby people. His distinctive character, his loyalty and his firm commitment to everything he undertook made

Martin Ryan him a memorable and important figure within the club. His name will forever hold an honoured place in the history of Thurles Rugby Football Club. As a public representative Martin wore the Fine Gael, Labour and Independent (Lowry) colours. He was outspoken, was never afraid to ruffle feathers if he felt it was for the betterment of the town or its people, and was not beyond challenging officials and executive if he felt the need to do so. However, he had the ability to get on with people too and though he would often argue his point to the bitter end, he would always

walk away from the table on good terms with everyone. Predeceased by his wife Phyllis, daughter Yvonne (Slaughter), sons Martin (Rocky) and Michael (Twin), grandson Kevin, Martin’s passing is deeply regretted by his sons John and Thomas, daughters Breda and Mary, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, daughtersin-law Ann, Mary and Marian, son-in-law Brendan (Slaughter), sisters Peggy (Moloney) and Kitty, brother Dicko, nephews, nieces, sisters-in-law Breda and Pauline, cousins, neighbours and friends. May this servant of Thurles rest in peace.

TMS looks forward to Cabaret evening in November Having just overseen the three night sold-out spectacular show Come From Away in the Premier Hall, Thurles Musical Society’s hard-working Committee has now set its sights on a two-night cabaret evening in November. Rehearsals commenced last week for the cabaret under the tutelage of Musical Director, Mary Rose McNally and there was a fantastic turnout of almost sixty members. The Society was delighted and thrilled to see plenty of new members on the night also and everyone has very quickly jumped into learning the repertoire for the cabaret which will be staged on November 6th and 7th in the Premier Hall. A sub committee has been established to make the arrangements for the cabaret and the director will be Michelle O’Connell – no stranger to the audiences in Thurles. While rehearsals for this cabaret are underway, TMS is still basking in the warm glow of appreciation following the truly magnificent production of

Come From Away. The audience reaction was incredible with the twelve people on stage being applauded for a long time after they brought the curtain down on each production – the standing ovations were full of enthusiasm and encouragement and the many comments afterwards were gushing in their approval of this marvellous production which was directed by Oliver Hurley. From the moment patrons entered the Premier Hall they were transported to the small town of Gander in Newfoundland, Canada to follow the story of the planes and their occupants which were diverted following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the USA. The show was simply stunning and the twelve on stage – Barry Derby, John Hayes, Ben Collins, Jack Shanahan, Mark Condren, Frank Tuohy, Fiona Delaney, Linda Ryan, Nina Scott, Orla Purcell, Marie-Therese Kirby and Denise King – were outstanding as they played multiple parts in this very fast-paced, complicated and demanding show.

Thurles Musical Society welcomed AIMS President, Mr Gerry Sweeney for the Friday evening performance – the 25th anniversary of 9/11 – and he too was blown away by the show which had an incredible set, brilliant lighting and sound, superb painting and marvellous costumes. The team effort associated with getting this show on the stage was top class with all the different elements coming up trumps in a big way. The show brought the curtain down on Thurles Musical Society’s 75th anniversary celebrations and what a busy year it has been for all concerned. However, rather than resting on their laurels, they are once again in the throes of rehearsal for their cabaret which is certain to be another big hit with audiences. So, mark the date in your diary and be sure to get along to the Premier Hall. If you would like to participate in the cabaret, come along to the Ursuline Secondary School on Thursday evening at 8:00pm for rehearsal – next

Thursday, September 24th is the cut off date for participation though. Thurles Musical Society Committee 2026/27: Standing L-R: Jack Shanahan,

Ursuline Ag Science students attend the Ploughing Fifth year Ag Science students and the Transition years from the Thurles Ursuline Secondary School had a fantastic day of learning at the National Ploughing Championships this week. The trip to Screggan provided students with the opportunity to explore Ireland’s agricultural

industry, discover the latest developments in farming and sustainability, and learn more about the important role agriculture plays in our economy and communities. The girls had a great day out, loved the experience and are determined to make a return trip next year.

“Call of the Wild”

Countryside and wildlife matters with Rupert Butler

Many of us, myself included, would find it hard to identify many of our bird species by voice alone. There are of course a bunch of exceptions, particularly members of the corvid family, whose racket is without equal. Rooks, Jackdaws , Crows, Ravens, Magpies and Jays have all very distinctive, and indeed very loud notes, somewhat annoyingly at times if the truth were to be known. Even the lesser known member of the group, the Chough, has some rasping vocals, but slightly more toned down than its cousins, something

akin to a Rook with laryngitis. As winter draws closer and many of out wildfowl and wader friends return to visit some familiar tunes will once again grace our valleys and glens. We are not blessed with many geese hereabouts, a few passing migrants from time to time if we’re lucky. We do however have a large migrant that will give most a run for their money in the vocal department. Our own river Suir, together with its tributaries is home to substantial numbers of Whooper swans during the colder months. On

a frosty winters evening their honking can be heard from miles away as they travel to night time feeding venues. As day turns to night I have often sat under an old Elder and watched the drama unfold. I suppose I am blessed in a way, although others may say different, that one corner of my brothers farm runs within earshot of this meandering water system. Wildfowl will always take the shortest route to their feeding stations, so if following a river system or similar they will cross overland to cut out where the river meanders too much. As a

result the battalions will pass directly over where I wait. For ten minutes or more line after line of these noisy visitors will pass, their size almost as impressive as their vocals. Whoopers however are not alone where winter vocals are concerned. A few other migrants are as distinctive, more so on occasion. Although Curlews breed here in smallish numbers their

23-09-2026 population will swell several fold as migrants return to our shores. The demise of breeding birds on this small Isle of ours has resulted in a conservation project that gathers pace as the years slip by. Farmers in areas where they abound are paid to leave pastures untouched, which in turn helps younger birds mature away from predatorial eyes. Curlews have a distinctive and somewhat haunt-

ing voice, particularly during the colder months. Together with Green Plover they are probably the most vocal of our winter visitors, and both can be heard regularly as dusk arrives. Although the colder months may herald the advent of harsher weather and shorter days the music that sweeps down from above makes it all the more bearable.

THE VIEW by Noel Dundon Historic SHC final in store, or a repeat of ‘62?; The drop beckons for Mullinahone or Roscrea; Football hots up; Kelly ’owns’ minor job Barring one intriguing combination, this year’s FBD Insurance County Senior Hurling Final will be a new affair. The only possible repeat would come if Thurles Sarsfields overcome Nenagh Éire Óg, while Moycarkey Borris negotiated JK Brackens — setting up a replay of the 1962 final, when the Blues prevailed by a single point, 1-7 to 1-6. That was another age of hurling. Goalkeepers did not wander forward for scores; there were no 100-yard Hail Mary pucks; corner-backs did not receive the ball from their goalkeeper; and hand-passing was barely part of the vocabulary. The game has travelled a long road since then, but should Sarsfields and Moycarkey Borris renew county final day acquaintances, the rivalry would burn just as fiercely. FBD Semple Stadium would be alive as two Mid Tipperary giants collided, neither willing to yield an inch. There is plenty of hurling to be played before that prospect becomes reality, however. The all-urban semi-final pits last year’s finalists Nenagh Éire Óg against Thurles Sarsfields, with Nenagh carrying favouritism into the contest. In the Sarsfields corner is Thurles man Michael Gleeson, whose medal collection already contains several county senior honours, many secured while his father, Michael ‘Glossy’ Gleeson, was at the helm.

There should be some lively hurling conversation in the Gleeson household this week. Nenagh’s favourites tag comes from their impressive demolition of a disappointing Cashel King Cormacs in the quarter-final. Sarsfields were equally ruthless against Borris-Ileigh. Both victories came without their respective talismen, Jake Morris and Ronan Maher. Morris, one suspects, has the better chance of returning for the semi-final, with Maher facing the tougher battle. There is an old sporting maxim that you must lose one before you win one, and Nenagh may feel they deserve another crack at the Dan Breen. Championship hurling, however, has little time for entitlement. For all the flair and attacking quality these sides possess, this game may be won in the trenches — in the rucks, the individual battles and the breaking ball. Whoever dominates those exchanges will go a long way towards winning the day. Sarsfields or Nenagh? Take your pick. It is absolutely wide open. At the other end of the draw, JK Brackens are chasing a first-ever county senior final appearance, while Moycarkey Borris dream of returning to the showpiece for the first time since 1984, when they defeated Lorrha to claim their second title in three years. Moycarkey have endured lean years since, but their revival,

built on a rich vein of underage success, has restored belief and ambition. There is a hunger in the club now — and the talent to match it. Should they reach the final, a huge crowd would follow, but first comes a formidable hurdle in the shape of JK Brackens. Brackens can make history this weekend and, judging by their form, they will take some beating. Their route has been emphatic: victories in the round-robin stage followed by a late stand against Holycross-Ballycahill, sending the then favourites crashing out. Their attack has been particularly impressive, while their defence has improved with every outing. They will arrive at FBD Semple Stadium brimming with confidence and, crucially, with the results to justify it. If Brackens take the final step, Templemore parish will erupt. The scenes would be spectacular and the significance enormous for the club. But first comes Moycarkey Borris. Nothing else matters. Many a club has made the mistake of dreaming beyond the next hurdle, only to discover that championship hurling has a cruel way of punishing those who look too far ahead. The Premier Intermediate hurling championship is also throwing up some very interesting draws. Thurles Sarsfields and St Mary’s will lock horns a week after their minors played

out a thrilling semi-final with the Clonmel side coming out on top against a hotly fancied Thurles team scattered with senior players. In the second semi-final, Éire Óg Annacarty take on Killenaule in a game which is very difficult to call. Meanwhile, a lot of eyes will be on Templetuohy and the clash of Mullinahone and Roscrea in the senior relegation final - as important a game as ever there is for the participants. Familiar look to footballs final four Favourites Clonmel Commercials have been joined by Loughmore Castleiney, Kilsheelan Kilcash and Moyle Rovers in the last four of the FBD Insurance County senior football semi-finals following the games at the weekend. The Loughmore Castleiney men dusted themselves down having lost out in the hurling preliminary quarter final, and produced a strong display to defeat their neighbours who have had their eyes on the hurling prize next weekend too - a scenario Loughmore Castleiney have navigated successfully on many occasions. At the penultimate stage now, the football championship is really heating up. Board turns to Kelly to Eoin it The announcement by the Tipperary County Board that Mullinahone’s Eoin Kelly is to

take charge of the county’s minor hurlers has sent a powerful surge of excitement coursing through the Premier County — and nowhere more so than among the young hurlers harbouring dreams of earning a place in the new regime. For many of the players who will soon report for duty under Kelly, his playing days will belong to a different era. Some of them were barely out of the cot, never mind old enough to appreciate the full majesty of one of Tipperary’s greatest-ever hurlers as he dominated the landscape. But Eoin Kelly’s reputation needs no introduction to a new generation. His name carries weight. His knowledge carries even greater weight. And the prospect of having Tipperary’s most promising young hurlers immersed in that knowledge is an enticing one. If there is one man who understands the demands, the pressures, the detail and the subtle nuances of elite hurling — what it takes physically, mentally and tactically to survive and thrive at the highest level — it is Kelly. The announcement itself was hardly a bolt from the blue. By the time the County Board’s graphic appeared across its social media channels, the news had already swept through the county. In Tipperary, word travels quickly when a big name takes

the reins. What remains under wraps, however, is the make-up of Kelly’s backroom team. Names have been whispered, roles speculated upon and, inevitably, the rumour mill has been working overtime. The identities of those who will form the engine room of the new minor set-up will be revealed in due course. One thing Eoin Kelly will know only too well is that his tenure will inevitably be measured against the remarkable work of his predecessor, James Woodlock. The bar has been set high, the jersey is heavy and the boots he has been asked to fill are enormous. And in Tipperary, there is an unforgiving simplicity to the scoreboard. Ultimately, success is measured in silverware — and at this level, the ultimate prize remains an All-Ireland title. No pressure then, Eoin! We wish Eoin Kelly and his soon-to-be-announced management team every success as they embark on what promises to be a fascinating new chapter. The Premier County has enjoyed a glorious run of underage success, and the hope across Tipperary will be that Kelly and his team can keep that flame burning brightly — and perhaps add another chapter to the county’s proud hurling story. More from THE VIEW anon.

GAA At Annacarty on Friday night last Sologhead failed in their bid to land the West Junior B Football title as Rosegreen emerged the winners to complete a West Championship double. Having led by six points at the break, 0-8 to 0-2, Rosegreen maintained their advantage right to the final whistle despite a Sologhead comeback in the closing fifteen minutes. Final score, 0-15 to 1-7. However all is not lost as Solog-

head can now regroup and an opportunity to get back on track presents itself with a Co. Quarter clash with Portroe.

Burncourt 50th Anniversary- Plane Crash Remembered. Last Saturday and Sunday, Burncourt Community Council hosted those who had travelled to the Galtee Mountains to commemorate the Anniversary and remember those who lost their lives when their light aircraft crashed on September 20,1976. The three friends Tom Gannon, Jimmy Byrne and Dick O’Reilly , all members of the Abbeyshrule Air Club had taken off from Kilbrittin airstrip in Co Cork to return to Co. Longford. Last Saturday, there was a Commemorative Walk to the crash site followed by a Service of Remembrance on Sunday. Both events were well attended with family members of those who died, past members of Abbeyshrule Air Club, members of the local mountain rescue team S.E.M.R.A. and locals who recalled the crash. Following the events, refreshments were served in Burncourt Community Hall where the tea and the chat flowed. It was a very special get together for all with huge thanks to Jimmy Barry for his organisational work. Difficult times often lead to

Breeda Fitzgerald new beginnings and this was the case here. There was no mountain rescue in the area in 1976, it was local farmers and hill walkers who helped in the aftermath of the crash. It was decided then, that a mountain rescue team was needed and in 1977, SEMRA was founded, celebrating its 50th anniversary next year. National Positive Ageing Week.
