THURLES TOWN
A vibrant Tipperary town, Thurles is a great, central
location in which to live and study. Well serviced by
the Irish Rail network and growing its reputation as
a university town, Thurles has many recreational
and cultural facilities. With a thriving arts scene at
the Source arts centre and theatre, a well-equipped
leisure centre, cinema complex and shopping centre,
and several coffee shops, the town has much to
offer. For many people, Thurles is synonymous with
the GAA and the famed Hayes Hotel, which held the
first historic meeting of the GAA in 1884, is located
in Liberty Square in the centre of the town. Semple
Stadium, the spiritual home of hurling, is also just
a puck of a sliotar from our Thurles Campus.
