Residents and residents associations need more involvement when it comes to the tendering process for work that needs to be done in their areas.

That is according to Cllr Martin Browne who highlighted the issue of a housing estate in Bansha that was resurfaced recently.

Once the resurfacing work to the estate's thoroughfare was done by a contractor for Tipperary County Council, it emerged that the road was uneven and poorly done. He also noted that it was origionally estimated that the project would take around two days to complete. it was eventually done in less than a day through the use of different surfacing material.

Cllr Browne said that he has contacted the company responsible and is awaiting further developments.

He said the residents are unhappy with the type of material used to surface the area and want the traditional method used instead.

South Tipperary GPs who haven’t signed up for free GP care for under 6s will not abandon those who would be covered by the scheme.
Speaking to Tipperary Mid West Radio, Dr David Janes said that while he could not speak for all doctors, he was of the understanding that GPs opting out of the scheme would likely forgo the cost for under-6s or pass it on to the health service.
He said that his concerns about the scheme lie in the areas of confidentiality, the impact the additional workload would have on patients, and the possibility that it could hamper GPs in putting their patients’ needs above all else.
His sentiments were echoed at a public meeting in Clonmel.  At that meeting another South Tipp doctor, Martin Rouse spoke of how he believes one of the consequence of the scheme would be same-day GP access ‘becoming the exception rather than the norm’.
