Wonderful work is progressing on Suir Island with the development of a public amenity which is aimed at bringing people back to the island that was once part of the industrial heart of the town. Before that work started, we had an opportunity to explore the site and do some work ourselves.
This public amenity is supported by the Sláintecare Healthy Communities project and Tipperary County Council.
Much consideration has been given in relation to public safety, durability, visual and ecological sensitivity, budget and maintenance in the choice of materials for the paved areas, amenity areas, seating and pathways. The gardens are due to open to the public in Summer 2025 bringing a new outdoor public space to the people of Clonmel.
