The midweek game is good but its a grind, I came joint first the most recent Wednesday with 3 other lads. At 3am we decided to split it 4 ways as we were all even on chips.
The last Monday I played in there I won it but what I won compared to what I invested just wasn't really worth the time and effort which kinda put me off going back. Its good aul craic in there though, very friendly and there's no unsavoury people in there which is great.

I totally agree that the Monday game shouldn't be used to build a bankroll but like you said, its good craic, which is why I play, cheap entertainment and all that. Well done on chopping the game, Mark, Eamonn, Cathal and Padraic. The idea of that game is that its a grind instead of the usual games. The regular games are definitely not games to try and make a profit on. Just fun.

Thanks .I was hoping Connie would do a big all day tournament like he did last year with the 2 day event. Doesn't seem to be on the cards though.

No, I was talking to Derry about that and the timing never seeems right. Had Puck 2 weeks ago, the league final last week, a bank holiday next week and then your getting out of the summer time. I did ask about maybe September or October but there are a few €200-€500 games on all over the country e.g the IPO in Dublin in October so the space for a game for Connie to attract players from different parts of Ireland doesn't seem to be there. I would love a good €250 2 day game, but I'm happy with my Monday night out at the moment

Hello Killarney folk. Could anyone tell me is there any sort of public transport from Killarney to Bantry? If not direct, how would it be best to get there?

Get the bus from Killarney to Cork, I think the bus goes once an hour from about 8am.

And then get the bus from Cork to Bantry http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1308580333-236.pdf

Fairly awkward but the only way I can find and the train would be a lot more awkward, hope it helps

It's a pity he wasn't travelling during the Summer months he could have got the 270 and 252 via Kenmare

Very hard to get your hands on them in Killarney. Debenhams in Tralee is where I go to get mine.

Hey, I just started working in a hotel in town and I live 25mins away so I'm looking for somewhere to rent. Looking for somewhere close to city centre, within a 10 min walk. Single room, ensuite if at all possible.

Hi Blinky, welcome to town, wherever your from.

What's your budget? Get the Killarney advertiser on Friday evening, they have loads to rent in that.

http://www.rent.ie/rooms-to-rent/kerry/killarney/room-type_either/

Number 5 and number 7 might be too far out to walk to town. everything else is 10-15mins. What hotel are you working in? Would give us a better idea about which area in town would be closest to you.

http://www.daft.ie/searchsharing.daft?s%5Bcc_id%5D=c14&search=1

More of the same things on that site but it shows Tralee and Killorglin too so I find rent.ie easier to navigate. Good luck with it.

Their is a house on the Park Road with a camera set up on a tripod on the upstairs window with the footage capable to taking in their own front area and also that of it's neighbours

i.e. The entire front-area from front-door of both houses right out to the main street are covered by this camera.

How come this is allowed happen without the neighbours being informed of the erection of said camera; and that their comings and goings would be monitored without permission 24/7 from moment the front-door is opened - surely a quiet word would be the way to go here?!

Any other areas in Killarney with perving neighbours?

Thanks,

I would imagine they wouldn't think there's too much of a difference betweem having the camera there, and someone sitting inside the window looking out.

I don't know if I would call it perving but possibly security conscience people. And I think if you noticed the camera the neighbours would also and if they felt their privacy was not being respected they could take it upon themselves to deal with it.
I have to admit it would be rather unsettling to live beside such extreme measures if it is for security reason.. A they are other options I am sure they could look at.. Just glad they are not my neighbours

Just awaiting a reply from the Data Protection Commissioner to gain their views on this. Won't be contacting local Garda Station as think it utterly pointless , but can't say I've heard anything to warrant this measure. Maybe those with the camera know something of the area that I haven't heard yet.

As far as I know as long as its not directed in your windows or front door its okay.

I remember a few years back painting the resource centre in shanakill in tralee. They had a camera outside that would scan all around the estate. But the security firm fitting it had to black out the view of the house windows and doors.

Not perving; staying safe is all which they have every right to do. These are dark times

How do you know they didn't ask the neighbours for permission?

Does any one find the vodafone coverage in Killarney to be really bad for the last few days? Dropped calls, line break up, one or orther of the callers cant hear the other etc. It seems to be fine else where in the county.

My aunt is in Killorglin she is having a lot of problems too, dropped calls, not hearing. Don't know what is going on with it.

Stinicker

Same thing is happening with Vodafone down in Kenmare and nearby in Kilgarvan, must be a county wide thing.

michael999999

I got about ten text messages from them today saying that the problems in my area had been sorted out. Didn't say what the problems they had sorted out were though!

Probably something to do with the 4g network upgrade
