The above scanned copy of an original document, permits the bearer to attend the First Sitting of Dáil Éireann in the Mansion House, on the 9th May 1919.The historical significance of this document is that it is signed by the great Irish patriot Terence McSweeney, Lord Mayor of Cork, & a member of the first Dáil who sadly died on Hunger Strike. We are delighted to announce that in the very near future, we will be updating the website with many documents and pictures of historical relevance to the town of Templemore.

JOE CONNORS
A fitting tribute has been erected at Main Street, to the late Joe Connors RIP, by his former workmates on North Tipperary County Council. The beautiful piece of street furniture is crafted from cast iron and teak, and would have brought pleasure to the late Joe, who was often seen around his native town, sitting on the Mall Bridge, or other under the Town Hall, discussing life with the locals. The Weeping Willow in the background was nurtured and supported by Joe after it was damaged by a truck some years ago.
