"One would hope that the large urban areas of Cashel, Cahir and Tipperary Town, along with all the hinterland parishes are not forgotten by the Oireachtas members in south Tipperary.
"Tens of thousands of people in the area now find themselves a long way from their local national representative. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the TDs and Senators a very productive term in office, and I look forward to engaging and working with them in the years ahead.
