That’s according to the Implementation Plan published by the Tipperary Reorganisation Implementation Group.
Local Government Minister Phil Hogan says he's pleased with the progress being made – the councils will merge following the 2014 Local Elections after 173 years of separation.
The Minister also stressed the non-financial benefits of unification – he feels the new Tipperary County Council will be better positioned to promote the interests of the county and contribute to job creation and the recovery effort generally.
