    Can anyone tell me what they're building beside the Abbey? I've checked the on-line planning permissions and can't seem to find anything for the site.

    It looks a big development and I hope some thought was given to blending it in with the historic buildings around it. Seeing as this is Ireland, however, I wouldn't be too certain about that.

    Yeah, I'm very curious to see what they put in there. They'll probably just fill it with overpriced apartments but I'd love to see a decent pub there. The town needs a big pub around there somewhere because everything else on that street isn't properly laid out for the kind of capacities they're getting on the weekends. Knoxes is too narrow. The Kings has closed now too. It always felt crowded even when it had few people in it.

    The Cloister was a great spot before it closed. Separate rooms with different music (or none, so you could chat) and the best beer garden ever (although drinking in a monks graveyard is probably tempting fate). The toilets were probably the worst I've ever encountered (you'd often have to vault over a foot deep pool of pee to get to the urinal) but you've got to take the rough with the smooth I guess.

    It's going to be a sports bar. They are adding new floors, but I'm not sure if thats going to be part of the bar or something else.
