Carrick-on-Suir Courthouse.
Sinn Féin councillors in Tipperary, Cllr David Dunne and Cllr Annemarie Ryan, have released a statement in response to this weeks news that there are plans to move Cashel and Carrick-on-Suir court services to Clonmel.
The statement released yesterday on social media says: "Sinn Fein Tipperary will not support any further downgrading on Court Services in Tipperary.
"Tipperary Town has already lost its court sitting, a move that was supposedly temporary during Covid. It means people from Tipperary town and hinterlands travelling to Nenagh, a round trip of 142km.

"Now the Court Services are planning on stripping Cashel and Carrick On Suir of their court sittings. This is a further downgrading of our smaller towns. This retrograde decision removes Gardai and solicitors from duties in their towns and places further burdens on those families attending court.
"This decision will also contribute towards decreased access for some to the service, as well as leaving significant Heritage buildings vacant in town centres.
"We will oppose any moves to close Cashel and Carrick Courthouse and will continue to push for the reinstatement of the Tipperary Town Court Service."
