I think it is the one going out past the golf range behind swimming pool.

The band have a lovely sound. Really like it.

(might also being the road that goes out past the par 3 at Quinagh - although my money is the first)

maccored · 06-12-2013 1:28am

nope. Technically its in Laois, but its a little side road that runs between two other, bigger roads. Theres a clue.

All the proceeds go to charity - plus its only 99c ... thats cheap for a song, when you think of it. Its been getting some nice mentions:

Is it the road you turn up for the Mall Pub on the Castlecomer Road?

Queen-Mise · 07-12-2013 9:16pm

Ok - It is the back road to Athy, that goes out from Dunnes roundabout, and goes past Knockbeg.

maccored · 08-12-2013 2:17am

nope to both - though the mall one would probably be the closest guess so far.

Water was off around ballon from 11 last night so I guess that was related to that and could well be off again tonight..

tommycahir · 06-02-2014 1:20pm

jesus just back from the doctors and parked in royal car-park, I would have been better parking in the damn swimming pool in graigue (actually in it, not at it) for a multistory car park the amount of pools of water there is ridiculous!

rule supreme · 01-03-2014 8:44pm

Has anyone any idea why they raised and made bigger that roundabout in tullow as you are leaving tullow heading towards carlow or castledermot . All the lorries with trailers have to now drive over the top of it because its to tight for them to stay on the road .Crazy planning who ever did it .

Nead21 · 05-03-2014 12:12am

It's not finished yet. Kerbs are also very high. I would imagine the new surface will be higher to accommodate this.

tommycahir · 06-03-2014 3:25pm

from Carlow map alerter

There will be major delays and severe restrictions to traffic on the Thomas Traynor road in Tullow all next week (Monday10th to to Friday 14th March to facilitate macadam surfacing of the road and use of the diversions is strongly recommended and only local access on Thomas Traynor road will be in operation during this period.

Does anyone know where I can get the large tins of Nescafe or Kenco in Carlow.

Can't find anywhere that sells them since Swans has shut.

Al Capwned · 07-06-2014 7:13pm

Owryan · 07-06-2014 7:38pm

Value centre do or at least used to and perrys should have them. Whether you can still go in without an account I dont know. Things have been tightening up in that area.

slimjimmc · 01-09-2014 6:09pm

The council recycling centre at Powerstown will also take it and other recycling for €2 if you can get it out there, but if you've a lot it you'll likely be better off selling it.

It's organised with Carlow Sports Partnership.

Saw a few peeps clearing out Saints and Sinners today. Chucking loads of crap into a skip, so looks like there might be movement in opening it up again/ might be sold

Spot on sir! Just got it from the horses mouth so to speak. Won't be for another month or so mind. Interesting place to (re) open in.

The ratio of Salons to people in Carlow is nuts

artanevilla · 23-01-2015 4:57pm

And "massage parlours".

Can't say I've seen many red lights on.... I'm sure it all ends well though...

brianblaze · 26-02-2015 1:58pm

Looking at doing some local advertising. What Does everyone think works best generally. I know in Dublin Digital gave us the best return, but not so sure here in Carlow!

Does anyone read the papers here anymore? Listen to radio?

I obviously can't go saying my business as that's advertising here and that ain't allowed! Let's just say for a hospitality/ service industry market!

TaosHum · 26-02-2015 3:29pm

Sign management service are currently doing out door advertising, you've probably seen them around town. Here's a link to their page.

The Carlow People is pretty much all advertisements at this point and I'm not sure its distribution around the town and county is too good. Some people in town say they get it, some don't.

If you wanted to go down the advertising route in the local newspaper then the Nationalist would be better IMO.

I don't really listen to KCLR or the radio for that matter, so can't really comment.

Alternatively, you could print & design your own flyers and get them delivered by Carlow Post Distribution or another distribution company in around town.

slimjimmc · 26-02-2015 4:03pm

I don't appreciate spam flyers and judging by the number of houses with "no junk mail" notices on their letterboxes neither do many of my neighbours.

Owryan · 26-02-2015 5:36pm

Flyers go straight into recycling. The Carlow people I line the cats litter box with.

iano.p · 26-02-2015 6:37pm

facebook seems the way to go for some people it worked for me. it all depends on your target market.I dont even tead yhe carlow people anymore. what sort of business have you that might help.

brianblaze · 26-02-2015 6:59pm

I am flyering the local businesses tomorrow as it happens, and I worked in Digital Marketing for a few years so I've looked at Facebook as an option. My FB got 200 likes since I started it last week with no budget.

Not sure I can say what type of business as I was told not to be advertising on here when I mentioned it during the week. Well, I suppose a genre of business is generic enough? Coffee Shop/ Cafe? (Feel free to delete this post if it's against the rules mods!)

iano.p · 26-02-2015 7:15pm

I must say thats what tullow street needs. I was in there the other day as it happens fair play well done it was nice. I think with st paddys day coming loads on the streets maybe give out a small shot of coffee to people on the street for the parade to sample and come into the shop.

Cheers. I'm looking at a launch 'event' for the aforementioned unnamed business around the weekend of Paddy's Day alright.

Which street does the Parade go down these days anyway?

iano.p · 26-02-2015 7:28pm

right down tullow street so a great spot for something like that sort of shop. I shall be back again

brianblaze · 26-02-2015 7:35pm

Great to hear! A good bit of regular business so far, so hoping for word to spread organically too. Open a week tomorrow, so that's a good sign!
