Tipperary

Tipperary is a market town located in South County Tipperary with a central business district and established local amenities. The settlement functions as a regional hub serving the surrounding areas with shops, services, and gathering spaces.

The county was administratively divided in the 19th century and maintained that separation for more than 150 years. A major administrative reform in the early 2000s reunified the previously separated governing areas.

The town holds strong local ties to traditional Irish sports through active Gaelic Athletic Association clubs that regularly host hurling and football competitions. These events serve as important gathering places for the community.

The town connects to major Irish cities through motorway networks and has a railway station for train services. Visitors will find a range of shops and services scattered throughout, with parking available in central areas.

The name became world-famous through the World War I marching song 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary,' composed in 1912 and still recognized across generations today. This song connected a quiet market town to a pivotal moment in modern history.
