Independent Cllr Jim Ryan
Thurles councillor Jim Ryan has apologised for his remarks about an estate in Limerick.
Cllr Ryan was raising issues about a Thurles estate at last week’s sitting of Thurles/Templemore Municipal District. He compared Stradavoher Court to an estate in Limerick, sparking outrage on social media.
The Limerick Post on Tuesday quote Cllr Ryan as saying: “I apologise unreservedly. I didn’t mean to cause any hurt or any grievance to anyone.
“It was an off-the-cuff remark at a council meeting.
“It will never happen again, and I know now from over the last couple of days the great work that has been carried out in the community by the residents, committees and various organisations.”
