On Friday June 14 I joined the Chairman of the Post 24 Irish UN Veterans Association, Michael Haslam at Clonmel Station to officially open the Blue Beret café at the station. The café will be run by volunteers from the Post 24 Irish UN Veterans Association, South Tipperary (IUNVA). The café will be open from 07:30hrs to 17:30hrs Monday to Saturday and will provide refreshments not just for the people of Clonmel, but also bus and train passengers at the station. The café will also have toilet facilities that can be used by members of the travelling public.
I am genuinely amazed at what Michael Haslam and the UN Veteran’s Association have been able to achieve. They have turned this into a terrific local facility which
will serve the people of Clonmel and transport users alike. Their dedication and commitment to this project has been second-to-none and they deserve tremendous credit for their willingness to work for theirown community here in Clonmel. It is an example to us all.
I also want to commend local management at the station here in Clonmel and CIE for facilitating this community effort. I am confident that with all of this local support and goodwill, the Blue Beret will be a successful venture.
