As a community-driven Public Representative of Tipperary, I am canvassing for this because I have repeatedly seen the difficulty local residents face due to the lack of an early morning train service from Tipperary Town Train Station to Clonmel and Waterford. This lack of service is adversely affecting our regular commuters, particularly those needing to start work before 9am and looking to return home in the evening. 

Our community deserves a comprehensive and reliable public transportation system that caters to the needs of its residents. The current train schedule, which doesn't have services leaving Tipperary Town before 9am, is not helping our workforce, nor is it encouraging a healthy work-life balance for our citizens.

There is a genuine need for Timperary's early morning commuters to be accounted for in rail scheduling decisions. This change could benefit a significant portion of our community, allowing them a straightforward commute to work and mitigating the stress associated with a lengthy commute.

This is not only an appeal made on behalf of those who rely on the trains for their workday commute but also constitutes a progressive step towards improving public services. This change signifies a tangible step towards providing comprehensive and effective public transit in our locality, thereby enhancing our quality of life and our environment as well as the local economy.

Let us stand united in asking for an earlier train, leaving from Tipperary Town Train Station, that serves the hundreds of people looking to start work in Clonmel and Waterford before 9am. Your support can help us shape a better transit future for Tipperary, so please sign this petition.

Regards, 

Cllr. John P. O'Heney
