Congratulations to them all. I hope that they represent us well for their term in office and that they can get Clonmel and South Tipperary back in business again. As a rate-payer and business-person in this area, I feel it is very important that the commercial viability of the town centre is maintained. Too much emphasis and leeway has been given to developments which are attempting to suck business from the town centre. This has been proven to be a failed policy in many other locations…newly elected councilors please take note!
Special congratulations to Jimmy O’Brien, who polled the highest first-preference votes of the election with 2438. All this from one of the smaller electoral areas (Fethard), more than double his nearest rival!
