Heart of our Town

We are proud to launch “The Heart Of Our Town” in association with Tipperary County Council. We know that the last few months have been tough…but what we also know, is that community spirit is alive and well in Thurles. The Heart of Our Town focuses on promoting local traders by introducing the faces behind the businesses in Thurles, their valued presence in our community and their unique retail offerings – it’s all about getting to know our local traders and the continuing contribution they make to our towns. Over the coming weeks we will introduce you to some of the local traders and let them tell you their stories. We hope to encourage you to keep local business in mind, we think you will find that Thurles has a lot to offer! Keeping the heart of a town pumping is what Thurles does best!
