THREE studio apartments and one two bedroom apartment are being planned for High Street in Tullamore.

The three studio apartments will be located on the first floor while the two bedroom apartment is proposed for the second floor with an entrance lobby at ground level. The development is proposed for what is a protected structure.

The application is in the name of Joseph P. Galvin. The architect Frank Murray has requested that Offaly County Council look on the application favourably as he says ''it will help rejuvenate the centre of the town with living accommodation over existing shops/restaurants.''placeholder image

There are a number of developments planned for High Street, the opening of the Arts Centre is due to take place in the latter part of 2022.

Meanwhile just recently James O'Connor received permission for a major retail and office development at O'Neill's Place just off High Street. He also has a planning application with the local authority seeking to build town houses at the same location.

In addition what has been described by Councillor Tony McCormack as a 'super-pub' is also being developed with food and entertainment on High Street.

In 1845, he set up the Brooklyn Benevolent Society to distribute relief to the Catholic poor – with the famine devastating Ireland, thousands of desperate emigrants headed west in search of a better life. He transferred all of his property to the society by deed and over a million dollars has been distributed from rents and investments over several decades.placeholder image

Councillor McCormack said; ''Tullamore is thriving at the moment. We have so much to look forward to with the green-ways, street enhancements and coming up shortly we have the opening of the Arts Centre. We also have the opening in September of Shane Lowry and Alan Clancy’s new gastropub which will be huge in the town.'' he said.
