Tourists ‘unable to find’ Clonmel

Clonmel is being overlooked by tourists because of a lack of signage on national roads, a local councillor has claimed.

Clonmel Borough Council is seeking a meeting with the National Roads Authority following a motion proposed by Fianna Fáil Cllr Siobhán Ambrose, who said the town is like “the Secret Garden — an enchanting place if you can find it”.

“In recent years,” she said, “most of the national road signs have been changed but, unfortunately as I see it, this has been to the detriment of Clonmel as the name Clonmel has been removed from the new signage.”
