Walked up Slievenamon for the first time this morning.
Since I was out of breath by the time I got to the first gate (this from the Kilcash side) I didn't rate may chances,but I made it.

What a lot of people had the same idea! There must have been over a hundred people of all ages on their way up and down.

Highly recommended and believe me,if I can do it anyone can.

That might explain it.

I failed to find the entry into the Celtic underworld.
The only likely entrance turned out to be the old Suir Nore relays building:)

From Tipp Fm:

Iceland target Clonmel for new store
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
Clonmel is one of the centres earmarked for an expansion of the Iceland discount food stores in Ireland.
The Dublin based AIM retail group hope to have 40 Iceland stores across the country by 2014, creating around 1,000 jobs.
As well as identifying a location in Clonmel there are also plans for Waterford, Cork, Carlow and Athlone.

On the subject of new openings, rumour has it that Supermac's are opening in the old GBM renault garage.

Hey all,

was just wondering what anybody could tell me about the huntball that goes on each year?

My son is looking to go this year, and I know nothing about it, so any info much appreciated! Ie..how much? Dress code? Where to get tickets? Ticket cost? Ask a date or go with friends? Non-alcohol?

Thanks for any help

callaway92 · 03-09-2011 5:29pm

Anyone know what was with all of the Guards scattered all around Clonmel today. Garda Car parked just outside AIB at O'Connell Street had its lights on the whole time, and I counted at least 20 guards on foot around the town

tippspur · 03-09-2011 7:15pm

AIB probably got caught robbing people again;)

I remember it from years ago but never went and I don't know if it still even happens.

However if your son knows nothing about it and none of his friends know anything about it why does he even want to go?

DT100 · 06-09-2011 8:15pm

Luigi's takeaway at the show grounds has changed its name.I wonder is it just the name,or maybe new owners?.

ReacherCreature · 06-09-2011 8:16pm

Kate Ryan's pub has closed. Current ownership getting involved with Phoenix Bar I hear. Ryan's will be opened up again I reckon.

I see where your coming from, and my son has told me bits about it. But i wanted to hear from someone else other than my son, who is prone to exagerating when he wants to go somewhere!

Just the name, same owners I've heard. Luigi's got such a bad reputation so soon that the think changing the name will help improve it, when they should be improving the management and staff skills first.

True.my first experience of the food in there was a bad one,a change of name won't be bringing my custom back there.

8000 sq foot unit in the showgrounds. Is there one that large not occupied?

Spat with the owners and rent.

Good question: the fans should walk off a cliff to watch it.

I know a few lads that went last year. It's just an excuse to get dressed up and go to a dinner-disco, and get the shift

. Ya can't be denying your son the shift, can you? :pac:

I understand the rent negotiations led to a mutually agreeable outcome.

ReacherCreature · 12-09-2011 9:13pm

I'm not sure cml, I think the renter's gone to the Phoenix Bar?

I think the actual owners are in charge now and it's back open.

tippspur · 12-09-2011 9:33pm

Yeah,I heard the actual owners are running the place now aswel.
