Two heritage signs that were recently removed from the Tipperary Hills area will shortly both be restored.
The signs were reported missing on May 21st by Tipperary Tidy towns. Council staff recovered one of the signs in the Hollow area of the Hills, a 23 acre amenity on the West side of the town, and the second sign has now been recovered and returned to the Council.

The second sign is situated at the foreground of the Norman Motte feature in the Hills.
