Clonmel Thread

masterboy123

Hi,
I am looking for a cheap blazer and trouser in Clonmel. It's for a relative who is visiting clonmel for few days but forgot to bring down the suit. So it can be of low quality for emergency wear for a function.

We checked in Penneys and Dunnes. They have good pants alright but they don't have blazers. So we checked in River Island buy they have blazers for skinny fit mostly.

any other shop or tailor around where we can get blazer and pant for 70-80e or so??

Did you look into hiring them? Might be worth going into Fitzgeralds?

I would try Clintons. They have some formal wear, albeit for the older person, but you might pick up something suitable.

Might pick up something suitable in M&S, could be wrong but their average quality suits can be got for around 130 so you might get a work suit for less

He specified cheap, not gonna get that in clintons. The again a budget would have been more appropriate to help people gauge where to go.

You could get a jacket for e70 or e80 in Clintons - that's the budget he mentioned but I think M&S might be a good spot, or hire something at Fitzgeralds, Connolly Man, very reasonable hire prices.

Why has no one said michael guineys ?. I have seen in there windows all the time a suit for 40 to 60 euros. IT will look cheap, fall apart by looking at it but for your price range thats what your going to get

He wants cheap not nasty :P

Only joking, great idea - you can get a suit really cheap. It will do for a one off occasion or emergency. No point spending heaps if you wont use it again.

No luck in Marks & Spencer. They don't have any blazers.

In TKMAXX very limited options and no matching colour pant and blazer.

if we increase the budget to 120e do you think we can get it tailored? If so from where?

Have you tried Tony Connollys and Fitzgeralds on O'Connell Street? Their Website might help, but they often have cheaper suits available http://www.connollyman.com/product-category/suiting/

masterboy123

We checked this shop from the window only and found it very expensive.
I just checked their website and nothing under 200e. I suppose they keep branded stuff only

Go into the shop and browse. They don't have the cheaper stuff too prominent. Same with Fitzgeralds.

Try wurlitzers. They have a selection of smart & casual style blazers

John O'Gormon's between Heatons and Penneys have cheap suits in the their windows - I've seen them. Not sure what they have at the moment but worth a look. There must be something in all the shops we've mentioned that you could use. If not, post measurements, you never know, a boardsie might have one you can use.

Spotted this, pity they couldn't review some of the views posted here but at least it's an opportunity for people if they are available

Anyone know where in Clonmel is the best place to get an iphone screen replaced and how much it's likely to cost? It's a 5s. I don't know if that matters.

I'm sure there's pedestrian access that you can use. If not, Mattie will come down and lift the bike over the barriers for you himself.

A provisional liquidator has been appointed Suir Pharma in Clonmel.
Staff at Suir Pharma have told Tipp FM that they were called to a meeting with senior management in Clonmel this lunchtime.
They were informed of the trading difficulties being experienced by the pharmaceutical company and were told to clear out their lockers.
Other workers who were due to start work on later shifts today have been told not to turn up.
The former Clonmel Healthcare plant has been manufacturing generic medicines for 43 years.At the High Court today the company cited losses of almost five million Euro in the 15 months to March of 2015 together with a major drop in sales on the US market late last year.

The also said a quality issue with an ingredient sourced in China which was used in one of its products - as a result Suir Pharma had not been able to make the product for a number of months.

Parent company Saneca predicted further losses for this year and 2017 and so today applied to the court for the appointment of a provisional liquidator.

Insolvency practitioner Michael McAteer of Grant Thornton has been appointed as provisional liquidator of the company by the High Court.

He has been granted a number of powers, including allowing the company to continue trading and will also try to locate potential buyers for the plant.

Justice Michael Twomey has adjourned the matter to June 13th.

CEO of Clonmel Chamber Brian Cleary has described today’s news as “a devastating blow for the town” comparing it to the job losses announced at Ranbaxy in Cashel just last month.

As an employee it's devastating but has been coming.
