    Has the comic shop closed down in The Courtyard?

    I see Aunty Nelly's sweet shop has closed down on Main St to move to the Tesco shopping centre

    Them, the Euro shop (though with the one open in the main SC I doubt I'll be in there anymore) and Happy days is okay too. That's about it. I tend to use the stairs in Easons to avoid going through SC if I can!
    Jaysus, it's hardly that bad?

    Yeah, my workmate goes there for lunch, and told me it was closed yesterday - however, I didn't think he meant permanently. That's a shame, though opening a deli and convenience shop so close to Timony's was odd.

    Suppose they were closer to the bus stop though, tourists wouldn't immediately know to walk around the corner.

    Not a good time, so close to Christmas, for the staff to lose their jobs.

    Also, staying with Donegal town, there seems to be a new Indian take-away (maybe restaurant, dunno) opening in No 11, on Main Street (opposite Doc's Bar).

    I'm surprised. Indo says it's in administration, which I thought was a step beyond receivership. However, Highland website says it's in receivership, so I'll opt to believe that instead.

    Seaview Hotel, Gweedore is in administration I see from the Indo article.

    Indo probably think Donegals in the North thats why they're using the term administration which is the British equivalent of receivership

    Donegal had an ice skating ring! I assume it was a seasonal one.

    No, it was artificial ice, open year round. It was in Newtoncunningham.

    There's another one in Letterkenny. Beside the cinema, I think it's called Century Ice.

    I thought that one closed ages ago? We were actually talking about maybe going sometime soon when we somehow came to the conclusion that it was shut.:confused:

    The reason for it closing, lots of "claims" forcing his insurance way way up. The claim culture around recently is sickening.

    Read recently of a girl getting 27k for a broken ankle at a go karting track. According to the defense she was shown how to go forward and reverse the kart but not steer it! There is no reverse on go karts for starters and you steer with the round thing in front of you.

    The mind boggles.

    So looks like I was wrong. Just looked completely cleaned out at the time, including signs taken down, during the day. But was open today.

    It was def "closed" for a period of time with signage & seats removed too. Just noticed yesterday that it was open again with what seems like the same lad running it.

    Change of ownership. The guy who has always ran it bought it out from the owner.

    Fish shop in Donegal Closed, strange as Starcrest Seafoods were running it, thought it'd be easier for them to make a go of it.

    The fish van - out the back of the diamond centre - stopped operating too.

    Think Walsh's Butcher's - Marty - doing fish now, just there and Supervalu in Town.
