I've been told it's about brothels in Soho...is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.209.178 (talk) 22:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Town signs

If I recall right, when you enter the town, the sign there says : Welcome to Tipperary, you came a long way, which must be a back reference to this song. Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere? It has been quite some years since I have visited Ireland so maybe someone could check if the sign is still there or stolen by tourists ;-) -- 195.14.244.171 (talk) 23:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
