Members had to negotiate their way around a number of huge craters on the approach roads to Nenagh as they made their way to the monthly meeting on Monday last - the meeting was adjourned as a mark of respect to the late Seamus Hanafin, father of current Councillor, Seamus Hanafin.

"The roads are in a desperate state at the present time and we need to do something about it as a matter of urgency. We need to allow time for a full discussion to see exactly what our plan of campaign will be and how we are going to tackle the problem head on," Cllr Kennedy told members and the council Executive.
