Some people have been watching the world go by from the same spot for years, and you can be guaranteed that every day is different.
Waterford man “Tawdy” Morrissey has been doing just that on the road to Tramore for years. So much so that the Waterford Council decided to build him a bench so he can now sit in safety off the road’s hard shoulder.
Mr Morrissey can now watch the “to-ings and fro-ings” between the city and coast for many more years to come.

Even the snows of recent days didn’t deter ‘Tawdy’ Morrissey from his new perch on the Waterford-Tramore road.
The new seat was recently installed for Tawdy by the Road Department of Waterford City Council, who can now sit in safety off the road’s hard shoulder near the Halfway House from where he’s observed the to-ings and fro-ings between city and coast for many years.
Tawdy resides on the opposite side of the road near Steinberg Fireplaces.
