The Government is being lobbied to provide funding for works at a War of Independence monument in Tipperary.

Solohead in West Tipp will be the focus of much attention next year with the centenary on January 21st.

For decades the Soloheadbeg monument has been maintained by locals.

Tipperary TD Alan Kelly says some funding would be very beneficial for the occasion to ensure it’s in pristine condition.
