Work is underway to ensure applications are ready for the Just Transition Fund in Thurles.
It was announced back in 2022 that the town along with Carrick-on-Suir and eight other areas would benefit from the EU funding aimed at addressing the economic transition following the end of commercial peat extraction and peat-fired power generation.

Kathleen Prendergast the economic development officer said applicants were in a good place, and they were also looking towards a new funder on the tourism side of Just Transition which would be opening in July.
She said the aim now is to collate a concrete piece of work to put forward, and after that they would focus on the Thurles SMEs and their inclusion.
