Evening shopping proposal for Nenagh

Local councillor Louise Morgan Walsh has proposed extended shop opening hours for one evening a week in Nenagh.

Speaking during a discussion about supports for local business at last month's meeting of Nenagh Municipal District, Cllr Morgan Walsh said a lot of people cannot get to the shops by the standard closing time of 6pm. She suggested that shops should remain open until 8pm once per week and hoped there would be good uptake of the idea.

Cllr Morgan Walsh hoped to see new business coming to Nenagh. She spoke of how existing businesses have managed to diversify and of the help offered by Tipperary Co Council and Nenagh & District Chamber of Commerce.
