    Has wooza been closed for long? Just walked by for first time in a while yesterday but seen it was all closed up. Pity, I was only there once but it was very nice!

    A month at least I think. Not as nice as Dough Bros so no real miss in my opinion. The Sea Rd one is still there too.

    There has been some recent changes in the Mervue Industrial Estate.

    Penn Engineering / PEM have moved into most of the former Beckman Coulter building and are having a launch today. They still have the other unit near FAS AFAIK.
    When they were powerhosing the parking area you could make out the Digital stencil from decades ago.

    Their former building has been sold.

    Dawnlough Precision Engineering have moved into the rest of the Beckman building and have fenced off the area beside it in advance of building a two storey extension.

    The former Nortel manufacturing unit has been given a face-lift to look like Avaya but is still empty.

    The former Cambridge Diagnostics unit is being cleared out - it has been empty for ten years.

    Galway Tool and Mould added an extension recently too.

    Anyone know what's happened to Massimos? A friend said it was closed when she walked past last Tuesday evening. I went past last night, also closed. There's a sign outside saying "bar still operating as usual, new gastro pub opening soon" - but the bar definiitely wasn't.

    This may not answer your question but JP McMahon was running the food part of Massimos and he has stopped as he is opening up a new cafe/wine bar in the Domicks st area

    Yeah, I was in the day of the all Ireland football final, and it was the last day for the food. They're expecting to have food available by mid October. The pub should still be open, but I know they've been opening later because they don't have food at the minute.

    It was 6pm one day and 10pm the next that we spotted it closed. Can't open too much later than that!

    Can anyone in town shed some light on what is going in where the old Dough Bros Pop-up was?
    They put a snapchat up and the name of the new place is Beanz Meanz Heinz.

    That's unfortunate. Plenty of locally owned fast food places already open in town. Don't see the need for another chain.

    Can't help but see the irony in the fact that the building is falling apart due in large part to its protected status.

    Where's Cooke's corner shop in Shantalla?

    Do you mean the offices that used to be a shop years ago at the traffic lights?

    No. It's further up shantalla road. On the left after you pass Higgins's hardware place. Small local type corner shop..not the place opposite the school that was formerly a mace

    Ah I have you now, yes, it has been closed for over a week now, The name over that shop was Cooke's and it is way further up Shantalla Rd. and on a corner too with the tarmac ramp at the front of it.

    Crazy how much confusion that caused..... :)

    Brogans pub on Prospect Hill is closed for a week or so now. No signs up, but I've now seen it closed and reliable sources say its due to family reasons.

    That was up for rent on Daft a couple of months ago. Something about only experienced operators who can run it as a theme pub only need apply iirc (could be difficult if the building is still in the same ownership as was). I'm not around those parts these days so I'm a bit behind with the schandal.

    Tosnú was seriously good. Why did they close?

    We felt the same - had quite a few 'date night' meals there with my other half and thought it was excellent. We actually tried to work out if they might have gone broke due to only being able to seat small amounts of people - the place could only fit maybe 20 at a time and needed about 4 staff to operate. Maybe the numbers just didn't add up?

    We're hoping maybe it was just so successful they needed to move to a bigger premises and will magically reappear somewhere else!

    Meubles is a furniture crowd, putting in a coffee shop within the place they took over. Kinda high end operation in their place in Kilkenny.

    How you equate a massive data center pulling down the same amount of electricity as 4 counties worth of houses with an apartment / office block on a vacant lot, is beyond me.
