    The individual operating the kiosk is paying rates on their other business on Forster St. but not the kiosk.
    Do they have any links to anyone in the Council executive? :cool:

    No, not on the kiosk in question as it is not a rateable building because it's owned by the City.

    The individual operating the kiosk is paying rates on their other business on Forster St. but not the kiosk.

    It is better to see it in use rather than being idle, but the fact it was handed out without any tender process & rate free is being seen as unfair by some.

    Mmmm.

    From the name, I guess it's the same business which had the concession at Salthill last year, which appears to be operated by someone else this year.

    I wonder what happened there.



    Mr OBumble did make an observation about not seeing a planning notice for change of use on the kiosk, and also whether it really meets all handwashing etc requirements for food-service business.

    There are bathroom and kitchen facilities in the kiosk.

    Park House Hotel seems to have expanded into the premises next door.
    My eyesight isn't the best but there were PH menus in the windows and a smallish sign over the door earlier.

    Are they actually occupying it? They bought it a while ago and I thought the plan was to integrate it (internal and external) to the existing hotel but didn't realise they had actually started working on / in it. They will need to do something with the exterior (other than the coat of paint) for blend in with the existing premises

    Druid lane restaurant is gone. Sign on the building now says Quay Noodles. Not open yet, though.



    Park House have been doing work on that next door building for several months.

    The Black Cat tapas bar and restaurant in Upper Salthill has had to close due to damage caused to the structural integrity of their building by the redevelopment of the former AIB building next door. What a shame this had to happen at the busiest time of year, I hope the owners will be well-compensated.

    Just wanted to update my previous post to say the Black Cat has re-opened so good news for the owners and their customers :). Looks like the issues with the building were sorted out faster than anticipated.

    That's the original Sweetie Pies unit. They later moved across the road to the one you're on about and then up to Abbeygate Street.

    And before that they were in Athenry! Must win a prize for most premises in a short time.

    They seem to be flooring Donnellys coal yard at the docks, beside the Harbour hotel.
    Anyone know what's going on there?
    Premium location, access to the new docks extension.

    Yep, they have moved to the inner docks and are still operating but with fewer staff.
