Hi all - are there any good mechanics in Nenagh - one that have a computer that can hook up to most models? I own a Volvo and used to get it serviced down in Cashel but its a long drive down.

Hi I go to Con cleary on the limerick road. Can't fault them. Even for parts the can get great 2nd hand parts if it's an older car. Iv a newer car now so I go for all new parts. Yes he has computer system then to hook up to car.. cheaper than main dealers. I'd keep well away from main dealers. Robbers

There's also Eamonn Coffey at the corner of St. Joseph's Park and Dromin Road. A gentleman and knows his stuff.

Reales down near Kellers filling station are brilliant. The best quality in town by far and they have a huge selection of basically anything you want. They do great deals too, especially during bbq season. Price wise they're not the most expensive nor the cheapest in town but you definitely get what you pay for..

TestTransmission · 06-04-2015 10:26pm

Sounds good.Whereabouts is that?

Boscoirl · 06-04-2015 10:41pm

It is across from Tescos

Never been in there myself

secondrowgal · 07-04-2015 1:40pm

One of the great things that Nenagh has going for it is a selection of quality butchers!

The three main ones in town are also top notch - Denis's and Hanlon's on Kenyon Street, and Hackett's on Silver Street.

Hanlon's and Denis's do a great range of prepared food, whereas Hackett's is more traditional, but their beef is to die for.

I personally haven't tried Reales but I had two separate people criticise meat that they got from there. Could have been unlucky, don't know.

Red Hare · 07-04-2015 2:04pm

Hacketts used to rear their own cattle - dont know if they still do that!

Hi Folks,

Looking for a bit of info - but beware if you can answer this you will be giving away your age! I am trying to find out the specific location of the post office in Nenagh before it moved to its current home. A friend of mine is shortly moving into what has been Lulu's, before that it was Roots Restaurant and I am wondering if this was previously the post office? I am interested as it could be incorporated into the interior design. Thanks in advance.

sligojoek · 04-05-2015 1:39pm

Is that where Meehan's music shop used to be? Across from the AIB on Pearse St.

Iamhere · 04-05-2015 6:27pm

I believe that site was the old Ulster Bank, don't know about Post Office...

Red Hare · 04-05-2015 7:41pm

As far as I remember it became Meehans and then became Hickey Meats. It was Hickeys who took away the steps up to the shop - remember all the men used to sit on those steps.

Going on the photo below I'd say it was where the meteor and lulu's is - they must have split the premises into two.

I think I'm right but others may disagree.

You're right, I remember running up those steps and rubbing the chalk off the board showing all the specials in the butcher. I felt like a pure rebel... I can't have been more than ten so I'd say it was around 20 years ago.

Fries-With-That · 04-05-2015 11:44pm

Lulus,roots restaurant, sounds of music, ulster bank, post office.

The steps were in front of meteor and Ryan's chemist(they extended into hickeys butchers).

sligojoek · 04-05-2015 11:49pm

Where did the steps go? Not only did I give my age away but that pic made me realise how long it's been since I've been in Nenagh.

Hickeys meats applied and received permission to create a wheelchair ramp into their premises, widely believed to be a ruse to allow deliveries to the front of their shop via trolly up the ramp.

When the butcher shop closed the new owners got permission to remove the remaining steps and ramp as it was deemed unsafe due to disrepair.

michaelm · 05-05-2015 6:06pm

Thanks a million for that - and all the replies. Pretty much along the lines I was thinking but had forgotten the timeline and details. I remember there being a fuss about the removal of the steps at the time. They were an iconic part of the town and a great meeting place.

If you can orientate yourself - this photo was taken from about the present local of JKCs. You can see Michael Scroope Insurances office pretty clearly to the middle RHS of the photo. On the LHS middle then you can just make out the steps that are mentioned above.
I can just about remember them myself.

Bear in mind in Thurles a similar development was refused permission in 2013 (Quirke of casino fame though it was part of a large shopping centre)

Lot of archaeology turned up out Tullaheady way during the M7 works so will be interesting to see how they get on with their application.

On a separate note has the new proposed management plan for Nenagh been put out for public consultation, I can't find anything online about it?

Fries-With-That · 16-05-2015 7:25am

management plan

Posters have started to appear in shops about town indicating that there will be a public meeting in the civic offices on Tuesday 19th. I think the time is 7.30 pm.

Discussions are open, from local business's, events etc, to goings on in Maximus whatever your heart desires.

I'll get the ball rolling, are there any gigs or good bands due to play in the near future? There's a lot of hype behind the band Rafiki but haven't personally seen them. They good?

Here is the guardians take on it, I can see the logic behind the mooted changes, but can see it making the traffic worse in town,

secondrowgal · 04-06-2015 8:51am

I think anything is worth a try but one-way systems only work well when (illegal) parking is well-policed. Otherwise the entire town gets completely clogged up by assholes just stopping "for 2 mins". I see it in Clonmel - outside the AIB on O'Connell Street (which is two-way but leads into and has roads leading into it which are one-way) and outside MacDonalds on Gladstone Street.

Abandoned "I've got my hazards on so I'm ok" cars block the whole town because the system is one-way.

We already have this in places in Nenagh with wide streets - outside Supermacs/Mamas, for instance. Apparently it's fine to double park here, opposite each other FFS and block the entire street

bawn79 · 10-06-2015 9:11pm

I wondered about the new CCTV system in the town. Could they use that to issue parking tickets for illegal parking etc and sort out the illegal parking? Like everyone else I think that it is policing of double-parking and illegal parking that needs to be addressed rather than a one way system. As secondrowgal says above at least with a two-way system you can overtake the double parked car but in a one way system there might be no chance to.

Una Powell's stock most of the Porterhouse range in bottles, as long as your willing to fork out the price of a pint for one.

Most places only have White Gypsie's nitro ruby ale on tap, don't expect the full range.

A friend from Gortlandroe was discussing the issue of the lack of rental properties in Nenagh at the moment, apparently there is nothing to be had in the town at all.

There's places alright, you'd just really need to lower your standards..

31-07-2015 3:52am

Where do people even advertise in Nenagh, apart from online? There does be very little in The Guardian as far as I remember. Shop noticebords and that kind of thing, maybe? Word of mouth? (my brother is renting a restored cottage in Terryglass if your friend has transport!)

jprboy · 10-10-2015 10:12pm

No post since July, thread almost dead !!

What's causing that smell in Nenagh in recent days? Very obvious in Kenyon Street on Thursday and out near the Leisure Centre on Friday.

And then there was the residue which had been reported on cars in recent times which appears to have been caused by a filter problem in Arrabawn Co-op.

GerB40 · 10-10-2015 11:30pm

The creamery is usually the cause of the stink in town.. The sewage system is ancient and chilmeats can be fairly rank too. Although I doubt the smell from chilmeats would reach town...

Just heard that Johnny Bourke (The Evil Man) died last weekend. Sound skin. I had many a pint with him in O Meara's and the Ormond in the 80s and 90s.

Out of all the rockers/bikers around at that time he stood out as being very polite with a mischievous sense of humour,

He will be missed by his family and anyone that knew him.

P.S. if you were drinking in O Mearas and the Ormond in the early 80's, I should know you.
