My father in law is a member of the iunva in clonmel and I've often bought the lottery tickets from him (even won a few bob on occasions) and that seems to be the same as the tickets I've got in the past so seems legit.

Refurb or not, surely it's only a matter of time for Gamestop? Direct downloads are becoming increasingly popular and their game prices are anything but competitive.

direct downloads arent really affecting boxed sales much, it's more that people just buy their boxed copies from amazon or such these days since the price difference is so great

they're probably redesigning it to fill the store with those bloody funko pop vinyl figures

"Post 24" refers to the IUNVA at the railway station. They have a seldomly updated site (news is updated once a year) that you can contact if you are concerned about the ticket sellers: iunvapost24.ie/contact.html

It's not encouraging to see that the lotto results haven't been updated since 2013. iunvapost24.ie/lotto.html

It might be that they think their older audience is unlikely to be online, however it's a shame that they don't/can't share more of their history online like they did at their event earlier this year.

Always ask to see their permit before buying. Personally, I never buy anything off a stranger on my doorstep. If you wish to support them, approach them yourself.

Are there any reviews of the two new eateries that have opened in town recently?

The cafe previously known as O'Tuama's is open again, I believe the chef is an ex-chef to J P Mc Manus.
And Parker's is a new opening up at the railway station that was once Cooper's/Cliffords.

Ok we will be careful in future. He just showed his special cap and introduced himself.

Near the Showgrounds shopping centre, outside the military barracks.

Guys,

I need your help.

Few friends visiting Clonmel from abroad.

Anyone know if there is a tour which goes from Clonmel to Cliffs of moher?

They will see Dublin of their own and I will show them waterford and wexford.

It wasnt me123

I don't know of any but Kavanagh Bus Tours in Urlingford might be able to give you some information.

The scenery around the Knockmealdowns and the Comeraghs is far better than the overrated cliffs of Moher in my view. And there's no ripoff "interpretive centre".

Buy for some reason all tourist want to see the cliffs.

Yes, it's true.
Was reliably told it's opening after Christmas.

Will do a trip there.

How do we reach Mahon Falls?

It's all about the marketing, tourists only know of the Cliffs of Moher so want to go there even though like you said there's more scenic places to visit.

TLDR: To save your friends a lot of slow travel, connections, and trouble, you either need to drive yourselves, or you could stay overnight in Dublin and travel with them on an early Dublin - Galway train (~2.5 hours), then get a tour bus, such as Galway Tour Company[.com], from Galway - cliffs. Bus Éireann takes far too long.

I don't see Clonmel-cliffs tours online. If my searches of Bus Éireann's site are right, the best they offer requires 3 trips: Clonmel - Limerick, Limerick - Galway, and Galway - Cliffs of Moher. You'd leave Clonmel at 08:35 and reach the cliffs at 15:15. There's a Paddywagon tour from Limerick to the cliffs which would mean one less bus, but it leaves the city too early (09:30) for your earliest Clonmel-Limerick bus (10:05, unless you all spend the previous night in Limerick).

I hope I'm wrong and there's an easier way; I would be interested in a swift Clonmel - Cliffs day trip.

There are private companies that run tours. I cannot find a link, but if you contact Clonmel Tourist Office (In the Main Guard) they could help you. http://www.clonmeltourism.ie/

I popped into the office at the main guard today. The guy had brochures to advertise the cliffs, but nothing to get you from Clonmel to there.

This is what i followed and this ended up in middle of nowhere. We saw the hills on both sides but no waterfall.

Any other idea how do we go there?

I'm a member of Post 24, IUNVA (Irish United Nations Veterans Association) and to clarify what already has been mentioned, the lottery is 100% genuine, there is also a permit issued by An Garda Síochána on an annual basis.
You can find out more about Post 24 IUNVA here (http://www.iunvapost24.ie)

The results are currently published on our Facebook page which can be found here Facebook (www.facebook.com/iunva.postclonmel) Hopefully they will also be available on our main website also here Lotto

(Sorry about the copy and paste links; as a new user, I'm not allowed to post clickables.)

Regarding the main website please note that due to a shift in personnel and appointments, there was no one available with the necessary skills for websites etc. As stated above, notification of winning numbers are notified through Facebook and texts circulated to the membership, the ticket itself has a portion where a player would put their phone number down and in the event of a win they would be contacted, there is a plan to put up results in some shops in town also. Because the results were being posted to Facebook the custom of placing them on the website eventually died off as most players checked them on Facebook. We will endeavour to once again notify the winning numbers on the main website and update it when possible.

I hope this clears up any misunderstanding or confusion about our association.

We appreciate all the help and support we receive from the general public, without whom we could not continue as an organisation.

Thanks.

If you get to this spot, you walk on the path to the left and it brings you to the waterfall

Interesting article about Market Place. What a pity they didn't cop on to the high rates when the place had plenty of shops. http://www.nationalist.ie/news/home/216716/plan-to-transform-clonmel-retail-precinct-into-new-kildare-village.html
"“When we invested in the property in 2013/2014 there was a big belief in the dynamic of Clonmel and its big catchment area.

“We were aware of the difficulty concerning the rates applicable to the units and we felt that common sense would prevail.

That process took longer than expected

The hands of the local council were tied.

They were aware of our plans for investment and development of the site but nothing could be done until the Dublin office solved it”."
