Claims that Newport is being ignored by North Tipp County Council


North Tipp County Council has been accused of ignoring Newport.

The North Tipp town experienced a surge in building during the boom, attracting house buyers out from Limerick city.

But now, Ogra Fianna Fail, say that Newport has been left as a building site, with many developments left abandoned.

The organisation says that the visual impact has been devastating to the area, and also poses a hazard to local residents.

North Tipp County Council has been accused of prioritising other areas over Newport and is being urged to address the matter.
