Urban Walkways select Fethard for first 'Wallway'


It is official. Following various visits to the town and inquires with different organisations, the European Agency for Urban Walkways has selected Fethard to be the first location in Ireland for a Wallway.

In recent years we have welcomed and grown accustomed to the Blue and Green Ways which are seen as a welcome boost to local economies. This present initiative, which involved the Walled Towns Wallway Committee working in tandem with Urban Walkways, is the first in Ireland to promote business and healthy lifestyles in a recognized historical setting. Fethard has been chosen as it is viewed as the best preserved small medieval walled town in the country.

This initiative comes as part of the new walkway linking Burke Street and Barrack Street; it proposes to extend the pathway and convert it to a Wallway which would continue for most if not all of the existing route of the Town Wall. As people in Dublin will lose some of their front gardens for the new Bus Corridors, people here whose rear gardens back on to the Town Wall may lose about six feet of their plots so as to facilitate the new Wallway. Compensation will be paid.

It is envisaged that there will be minimum disruption to traffic or to everyday activites during construction. Negotiations have already been conducted with the Central Council of the GAA and other bodies are expected to follow suit.

The local Council, as one of the supporting bodies, has also agreed to provide special grants-not exceeding 5 thousand euros per household-for individual and voluntary groups who might wish to launch a small business, ie like a takeaway cafe or rent a bike scheme on the route of the Wallway.

The surface of the Wallway will be tarmac, inner fencing to properties will be put in place, those who have access already via the wall will not lose that access, no new access will be granted however, the  existing pedestrian crossings and new ones where necessary will be erected at each of the six roads that cross the route.

Tipperary Rural Tourism Group have broadly welcomed the plans which should be available for viewing in the Town Hall – note the Wallway is coloured in red. The date for the local consultation should be announced shortly and will be broadcast on local radio stations.
Fethard to the fore once again!

Clocks go forward this weekend!

Coffee Morning to support Junk Kouture national finalists
Students will host a fundraising coffee morning at Fethard Horse Experience, Town Hall, Main Street, Fethard, on next Friday morning, from 9.30am to 12-30pm, where you can see how the costumes, including all accessories like hats and jewellery, were assembled. Do come and talk to the teams who created them.

The money raised from this event will go towards the costs of sending both teams to Dublin on May 2. Students will also advise and explain the online voting system in place for this part of the competition. This voting will account for 10 percent of the students’ total marks in deciding the overall winning teams in Dublin. The remaining marks will be awarded on the students’ presentation of their costumes to the judges, who will view the costumes earlier that day and discuss the making of the outfits, and lastly modelling on the cat walk to music of their choice, just 60 seconds to impress!

In Fethard Ballroom’s heyday, in the 1970s, there was one popular man who always pulled the crowds, in fact, we’re told by the manager of The Country Club, as it was known then, that Joe Dolan packed in 1,400 supporters to the hall, a record attendance never to be broken. Those who were lucky to be present at that dance will remember, there was no room to dance, and hardly room to move.

Joe Dolan was loved throughout Ireland and broke many hearts when he died suddenly on December 26, 2007. His family and band members have continued to play music in memory of Joe and these touring shows popularity continues to grow wherever they appear.

St Patricks Day Mass in Fethard was interesting!
This message was received following the report of St. Patrick’s Day Mass in Fethard last week.

“I read your online edition of the Nationalist on a regular basis. Your article on St Patrick’s Day Mass in Fethard was interesting as the hymns sang by the children’s choir were passed on by the Patrician Brothers. Also your mention of Goldie and Tony Newport, as I attended the school from 1948 to 1953 and knew Tony well from playing football with him. He went on to represent Tipperary Senior Footballers as goalie. I’m glad to know he is still with us.

I wonder is it possible to research the whereabouts of some of my class mates from Fethard? The ones that come to mind are Paddy Flynn, his cousins Johnny and Percy, John Whyte, Cha Finn, Gus Danagher, Paddy Stokes and Johnny Morrissey. They’re a couple of others whom I just can’t recall.

I now reside in Central Asia, Bishkek Kyrgyzstan Republic. Any news you could obtain would be very much appreciated, Looking forward to your reply."

Award winning film ‘Symphony Of The Soil’ coming to Fethard
Drawing from ancient knowledge and cutting-edge science, the award-winning film ‘Symphony of The Soil’ is an artistic exploration of the miraculous substance soil. By understanding the elaborate relationship and mutuality between soil, water, the atmosphere, plants and animals, we come to appreciate the complex and dynamic nature of this precious resource.

Filmed on four continents, featuring esteemed scientists and working farmers and ranchers. ‘Symphony of The Soil’ is an intriguing presentation that highlights possibilities of healthy soil, creating healthy plants, creating healthy humans, living on a healthy planet.
This film will be shown in Butler’s Bar, Main Street, Fethard, on Monday, April 8, at 7.30pm. The film, currently travelling all over the country, will be introduced by Richard Auler, followed by a conversation-discussion afterwards.
