There are many local amenities in Thurles to include Semple Stadium, Thurles Greyhound Stadium, Thurles Racecourse, Thurles Rugby Football Club and Thurles Golf Club. In terms of schools, Thurles is also well catered for with Presentation Secondary and Primary Schools, Mary Immaculate College, CBS Primary & Secondary Schools and Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed situated close to the site. The positive planning history on the site and its close proximity to a wide range of services and transport links will make it an attractive proposition to an incoming developer.
