June festival at grounds of Nenagh Castle

Preparations are underway for a festival in the grounds of Nenagh Castle in June.

Cllr Hughie McGrath (Ind) told a recent district meeting of Tipperary Co Council that the festival is scheduled for June 24th. He said he has been discussing the event with musicians. Cllr McGrath hoped that any development works taking place in the area would not interfere with the festival.

 

The meeting had been informed that the council will be going to tender in March for the development of a site adjoining the Castle Field known as Gill's Garden. It is anticipated that the works could begin around June.

 

Cathaoirleach Cllr Phyll Bugler (FG) welcomed the festival planned for June, saying it would draw many visitors to Nenagh.
