Location

• Due to its location close to the cross-roads of the south in Cahir, with the Cashel/Mitchelstown route due to open soon, and the new Waterford/Limerick route in the planning stages, the site finds itself easily commutable from all major cities and most major towns in the south-east. Indeed we are less than an hour from Kilkenny and Waterford.
• Located on the River Suir and over-looked by the Comeragh Mountains, Clonmel itself has a population of 25000, with an active & vibrant community while Carrick on Suir is also an up and coming area. There are a multitude of sports & social activities available. For those employees who choose to live in the local area, they can benefit from less expensive rent & house prices than in certain other high density population centres. There are excellent employment opportunities in the locality due to the high concentration of healthcare companies and other industries.
