Tony Kirwan Plant Hire and Civil Engineering has secured the contract to deliver €2 millon pavement repairs in Tipperary Town.

The scheme will involve the complete reconstruction of the pavement and footpaths on Davitt Street.

It has been designed to improve safety and the flow of vehicles within the town.

Work is expected to start on site in January 2019 and take eight months to complete.

Cllr Michael Fitzgerald, District Cathaoirleach, said: "This scheme is very much needed in Tipperary Town and I am delighted that Tipperary County Council is signing the contract with Tony Kirwan Civil Engineering Ltd., to undertake the works. It is welcomed and this investment is key for the town."
