Famous for caught by Revenue and been taken to court for tax dodging.
And also declaring Nenagh would become a ghost town if it were ever bypassed.

Close enough, but things have turned around. Lots of "high end" fashion shops and shtuff around the town, does be busy too on weekends.

Are the shops doing much business though? Any work around the town centre?

Today is my last day working in Nenagh, the town can be busy some days, it depends on weather/mart/schools etc.

The shops on the main street are the ones doing business, I hear its a real struggle for anyone a little off the beaten track.

I can imagine yea, I'm living here my whole life and wouldn't know most of the shops around town. Tis a shame.

One thing I have been meaning to do in nenagh is a pub crawl, get in maybe 10, possibly 15 pubs in an evening/night. Recommendations?

Shame on you !

As for the pubs, if you get in 15 there'll be very few left.
Care to do up a list of all the pubs and their owners and post it up?
The watch the reviews flow in.....

I counted one day and got twenty eight pubs in Nenagh. That was a few years ago now

For a pub crawl just do it street by street.
For example start at the Dapp Inn, go down Sarsfield Street [elderly folk call it Pound St] past Andy Flynn's, onto the Well for Mitchell Street and then down Kenyon St

End of Summerhill is another good starting point, Pearse St and then up Silver Street. You'd be buckled

I used to go to Figgerty's a lot, well they had pool tables.
And there was a tiny place up the street, I forget the name.
Has anyone ever been in there? From the outside there looks to be barely any room at all.

That tiny place is Una Powell's. She sold it a few years ago but the new owners kept the name AFAIK.

One question, Mike: have you been re-incarnated on Boards?
