A mobile Garda station will be operating in Bansha between two and three days a week until the end of September while the village's Garda station undergoes renovation works.

The mobile station, also known as the Garda Community Engagement van, has been visiting the village since the end of July.
It's based on Bansha's Main Street some weeks and at Bansha GAA Club other weeks during the temporary closure of the village's Garda station.
Sgt. Moloney thanked Bansha GAA Club for facilitating the mobile station on its grounds.
This week the mobile station will be at Bansha GAA Club on Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14 from 10am to 12pm and 2pm until 4pm.
It will be in the village on Tuesday, August 18 and Wednesday, August 19 and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday August 25, 26 and 27 from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.
It will be at Bansha GAA Club on September 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16 and on Main Street on September 22, 23, 29 and 30 at the same times already listed.
Sgt Moloney also advised people in the Bansha area to ring 999 in case of emergency or also contact Tipperary Town Garda Station on (062) 80670 if they require Garda assistance.
