Area around/near Lidl...?

Hi,

i was on here a while back asking about Carlow, Im moving there from Dub. Moving next week (have B&B for two weeks if needed though) was in Carlow last week and saw a really nice place near the Lidl shop there, was just wondering if anyone can tell me what the are a is like? Handy for me heading to Shillelagh!

Will be doing some more looking, can anyone tell me any areas to avoid (around Carlow town and out topwards Tullow)

John Sweeney Park, avoid like the plague.
Dolmen Heights, same as above.

The general area around lidl is grand! No trouble at all..

+1.
I would stay well clear of those areas and a few more near the other side of the road from the store itself.
General area close by is fine though particularly around the browneshill road and pollerton areas.
If you are working over in shillelagh (and I know where:) ), I would recommend living in tullow. Its a developing town close enough to Carlow- 10 minutes drive on a not so great road and much closer to shillelagh so you would probably get the best of both worlds really in terms of commute, quality of life etc...

Dolmen Gardens is nice. I'm moving out of a house there next month. Tried to find a link to the house on daft but it doesn't seem to be there.

Apart from opinions on the area itself. Traffic is very bad around there and the roads are in bad need of repair. The location of Lidl was a very poor choice, as it is very hard to get across the road to and from it, which means traffic backs up onto the O'Brien Road and Wexford Road.

+1 dolmen gardens was there for a while when the sis was there seemed a lovely place.
