Independent councillor John O'Heney, a local councillor for the Tipperary-Cahir-Cashel Municipal District, recently pulled off some exceptional passport magic and saved the foreign holiday of one worried local man from Tipp Town.

Cllr O'Heney posted the story online, and encouraged other people from across the Premier County to come to him if they are experiencing severe delays in getting a renewed passport and have a trip abroad in the new future.

"The last few months have been a really busy time for resolving issues with passports," Cllr O'Heney stated.
