Denis Leahy made the comments at this weeks meeting of the Tipp Cashel municipal district, as he welcomed the 3 year plan being put in place in the town.

Cllr Leahy, who’s a business owner in Tipperary called on the March for Tipp group to reconsider their proposed action on February 22nd.

He says blocking the road will hurt a lot more people than they think…

He says much has changed since the first March for Tipp, and they’ve come a long way with Government officials.

Cllr Fitzgerald says this action won’t help their case…
