While in Dromineer on his busy programme of events, An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, met one of the youngest local residents, Daithí Quinlivan, seen here with his mum, Janice.Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited Nenagh last Monday for a series of official openings marking significant investment in local tourism, business and sporting infrastructure.
The Taoiseach officially opened the new €1.2 million visitor facilities at Dromineer, the new headquarters of SYS Financial in Nenagh and the all-weather sports facility at Nenagh Hockey Club. He also officially opened local TD Ryan O’Meara’s newly renovated constituency office in Nenagh.

Mr Martin also attended the new headquarters of SYS Financial on Martyrs Road. With a workforce of over 100, the local company has expanded its operations nationwide and now has in excess of €1.5 billion in assets under management.
Another significant occasion was the formal unveiling of the new all-weather sports pitch developed by Nenagh Hockey Club at Nenagh College. The project represents an investment of more than €1 million.
Describing the occasion of Mr Martin’s visit as “a proud day for Nenagh,” Deputy O’Meara thanked everyone who joined in the events on the day and whose work made these projects possible.
