Speaking at the May meeting, District Manager Sinead Carr confirmed that Tipperary County Council’s executive engineer Roger Noonan was working on the plans. She further confirmed that the three proposed options would be brought before the Borough District members and feedback would be invited from the public before the final decision is made.  Ms Carr expressed her hope that the Part 8 planning permission for the preferred option would be in place before the end of 2021.
