Ongoing overcrowding at UHL and the lack of a 24/7 A&E in Nenagh was one of the first topics discussed with Cllr Smith conceding that the reconfiguration of hospital services in the midwest was a mistake.

What is being perceived as a possible threat to the Garda College in Templemore was also one of the key issues in this morning’s election debate

There were accusations that Fianna Fáil is looking to expand Garda training to other areas around the country which many claim could threaten the viability to Templemore.

The use of Racket Hall Hotel as an accommodation centre for International Protection Applicants was discussed during the latest Tipp FM election debate.

Immigration was one of the key issues with the uncertainty surrounding the proposed ‘community hotel’ for Roscrea.
