I think it's better known as Paddy Burke's
Now I may be wrong with the name, not sure so I put the name that's on display on the building.
Actually I'm kind of guessing with that name but Paddy something

Tiny pub, one of the smallest in town

It's on Sarsfield St, just up from Andy Flynns

Or another way to describe it is go to the street behind the post office and it's there

Paddy Rohans is run by a grandson of the original owner AFAIK.

Is Figgerty's a family ran pub ?

DaveNoCheese · 06-02-2012 1:02pm

Had a walk around town yesterday evening at about quarter past 5, everywhere was closed up. Is this the norm? Thought most shops were open till 6?

Only spotted this about Aldi coming to town.

Discount supermarket giant Aldi has submitted a planning application to carry out development at the former SuperValu store at Nenagh’s Springfort Retail Park.
Aldi purchased the store last month as part of a new bid to open in the Stereame park, where in 2010 it was refused permission to set up in a nearby unit following an objection made by Nenagh Chamber of Commerce.

Sunday is a day of rest

They don't stay open as late as six

Fadó Fadó when Joey O'Connor and Tommy Mulqueen owned the biggest supermarkets in town they never ever stayed open past six any day of the week
And you went to the Parkway in Limerick on Sunday, shopping on Sunday was new

Different simpler times

Before my time so, I expect every shop, everywhere to open, all the time, for my convenience

Yes
The owners retired a few years ago and it's leased out to another family now who run it
Excellent pub, one of the best in town
Pool tables, great place to watch a match and a lively and mixed crowd.

Fries-With-That will be along shortly with the best info, an expert on all pub related questions :cool:

Moynans lawnmowers Kenyon St Nenagh

PJ Hynes and Sons Tullaheady Nenagh (approx 1 mile from town on the Limerick RD)

And there is a bloke named Mike Coffey not sure whereabouts he lives exactly, runs his business from home and I've heard he's a wizzard when it comes to small engines.

If you live in Nenagh ask Grainne in the Pantry restaurant for Mikes phone number (Grainne is married to Mike Coffeys brother)

Is there anywhere in town or nearby that could do a motorbike service?

Have a Honda bike at home, it's not old and is in good condition but hasn't been run in over two years and needs a good thorough service

I can't think of anywhere. And I don't think I've ever seen a motorcycle dealer in Nenagh
Bikes are not complicated like cars, an independent mechanic could probably do it but I don't know any

Thanks

This is at the proposal stage.

Looks like the depart time from Nenagh will be shortly after 6.00 am, arriving in Dublin at 8.20 and, importantly, no change in Ballybrophy.

Do you think many people will use this?

Can't imagine many people using it on a daily basis but tis great if you have an appointment, interview, heck, even to go shopping. Get up there early and back with no hassle.

mikemac1 · 28-02-2012 4:24pm

Junior Minister for transport in Portroe and what the minister wants the minister gets

It's a good option to have, get you to Dublin before nine am.
And no waiting on a godforsaken platform in Ballybrophy for your change, it's brilliant that it's direct

I wasn't even aware that our line could access the main line, I've never taken a train that I didn't have to change in Ballybrophy

Anyone here can advise me on which mobile broadband provider is the best in Nenagh Town.

Three, Vodafone or O2?

Thanks

mikemac1 · 29-02-2012 7:13pm

They all work grand

Back in the old, old days of Eircell and Esat Digifone, well Eircell always had a better reception in the area so a lot of the people who first got mobiles are still went them and now Vodafone

So I'd guess Vodafone is more popular in the area but it doesn't make a lot of difference

I don't think there's a Netball team in Nenagh, but I would suggest that your wife should try to set one up.

I'm sure amongst the sportswomen of Nenagh that several would be interested in playing.

There are several places she could place notices asking for new members including the local paper.

Regards,

Fries.

Hi all, just reading through all of this thread, great to see a Nenagh one.
Interesting to read about shopping, or lack of shopping in town. Sad to see some of the local shops closing down. I know some people say lack of parking and traffic in town put them off. But remember its up to each of us to keep the town centre alive, not depend on businesses to come in but shop local and be proud to do it. The biggest supporters of local business are other local businesses, this is easy to see at lunchtime and after 5 when those working in town get to run out to eat and shop. Each street in the town is like its own little community with all the "neighbours" being supportive of each other and almost like an extended family. Shop as local as you can, but remember to buy goods as local as you can. How many of you bought St Patricks day things made in the far east. Its great to go into Dunnes and Tesco now and see baked goods made by local producers, support these and keep families employed and in the area. We have local meat, local dairy and local veg...read the labels in the supermarket and see what you can get. And dont forget the country market each Friday morning in the New Institute and the Farmers market Saturday morning in Quentin way.
