A Tipperary councillor has lashed out at road safety officials for not implementing plans for a bypass of Thurles, asking how many more lives need to be lost before the plan moves forward.

Cllr Jim Ryan says four people have died in traffic collisions in recent years in the town, which endures heavy congestion daily.
