    I'm living in Co.Mayo at the moment, but I'm considering moving..

    I would like to establish a business, and I have been looking at the following towns as possible suitable locations;

    _CO. TIPPERARY_
    Nenagh
    Roscrea
    Thurles
    Tipperary


    Has anyone any knowledge of living in or running/owning a business inany of these towns?

    Do any of these towns have well-known problems with businesses having problems with local criminals. Or does anyone have any knowledge about general crime rates in any of the above towns?

    Or does anyone have any general comments about living in any of these towns? Any good points or bad points which I should know about?

    Any comments or advice is appreciated, or send an email to me at

    claire2003@clontarf.net

    See ya!

    Claire

    What type of business are you thinking about setting up?
    Do any of these towns have well-known problems with businesses having problems with local criminals. Or does anyone have any knowledge about general crime rates in any of the above towns?
    We kicked the mafia out of Thurles last week, we will be sorting the triads out next week, so I think your business will be safe here.
    Dunno about the other towns but Thurles is ok, its not the worst town around.

    Hi Rabies,

    glad to hear the Mafia are gone, and he triads are going....

    Though Criminals do not always have to be members of such organisations, a criminal can simply be some local thug(s) who come round to your business premises and threaten all manner of things.

    This sort of thing can unfortunately happen to some business owners in some parts of Dublin.

    I want to make sure I don't move to a town which has a well known problems with local thugs.

    Thanks for letting me know about Thurles. I haven't heard bad about it.

    See whats actually happening here Claire is that Rabies may actually be a possible thug, and is trying to lure your successful business into Thurles in order to allow him to sabotage it with his mindless thuggary!! :D

    Nah Im in Thurles myself, and although its quiet, it would be grand for any business.

    What sort of business? We can probably help give a basic demographic... (And you thunk i'd gone forgot all that thar business studies talk!) and a list of amenities.

    Nenagh - supposedly highest crime rate of the towns listed...
    clonmel - loadsa people...
    thurles - not as many people, more centralised though and stuff...

    roswhere? :)

    http://www.tippinst.ie/about/about.htm -- links at side have some spiel aboot thurles n clonmel (Typical bull as would be expected) :)


    Do you like sheep?
