The mini roundabout at Alan Kelly's office does my wick, trying to get onto it from the top of Pearse St can be frustrating at the best of times- it is the opinion of this court that the vast majority of folk driving in Nenagh don't understand the rules of the road, or at least don't care for them.

I would agree with you on saying most simply understand or just ignore the rules of the road.

I agree with you about the Centra carpark, it should be in one way and out the other and the spaces are very tight. But the ALDI carpark is plenty big with enough room to manoeuvre....there is no reason to drive against the traffic.

Centra is the same but isn't it meant to be 1 way or at least was at some time one way in and out the other.

Yes, you did seem to get very annoyed here:

I don't think its quite meant to be one way, the Clare Street entrance is two way, entrance and exit. The other side (by community garden) is entrance only. This is to stop traffic crossing the road between the two roundabouts.

I have to say there has been some relief in Nenagh with the roadworks on holidays but they will be back next week and Kenyon Street will be closed from car park to Finnertys for 4 weeks.

Though a few weeks ago I was shopping in Kenyon street (while closed to traffic) and it was a pleasure to shop there.

The last car I bought was off Declan, can't fault it. Nice chap to deal with, although if you don't know him he comes off as a bit gruff. One of the lads I work with bought a good few cars from him over the years and never really came against any problems.

I'd say 90% of his stock is UK import, does tend to have high mileage, but he will stand over it.

Cheers, the father has had him service the car loads and never had any complaints. Just looking to see what he was like to buy off.

And in general, yes the driving in Nenagh can leave a lot to be desired by times :pac:

Hi good people of Nenagh.
I have to say this.....no SCREAM this.

The car park at Aldi/Woodies is A ONE WAY SYSTEM.

I'm fed up with people pulling out and honking at me when they are driving the wrong way, almost had a stand off with someone yesterday cos she wanted to drive against the traffic.:eek:

Follow the arrows.
Thanks:)

Was in there this morning 3 cars in front of me, all went different wrong ways

Can anyone recommend the best (cheapest) place to get photocopying / printing done in Nenagh?

Walshes in Kenyon street is the only one I know....never had a problem with them.

Does anyone know if the pc repair place on Kenyon St are any good with consoles? The blu ray laser on my Playstation 4 is knackered and I'd like to know if anyone has dealt with them before and if they're any good. Cheers folks!

I think there is a traffic warden on a Saturday, the Pearse Street area around Supermacs is particularly bad!

parking in town in general is awful. A friend saw someone double park along side a squad car on Pearse street and walk away while the Guards were sitting in their car!

Last night I got home about 1am and there were 2 cars parked so close that it all but blocked the entrance to my drive. I managed to inch my way in. There was no way an ambulance or fire engine would get upto my house if needed.

They were lucky not to have 4 flat tyres this morning

Not to change the subject but does anyone know what the plan is for the Joeys site?

Yer man who bought it, or at least who has a stake in in it, has said there are a bunch of shops coming into it, Penny's, Dealz, others that are so far unnamed.

Folk who have a site there, or a shop or something say Lidl are coming up around to the front.

It's any mans guess really.

This was a reply in response to a post about traffic in Nenagh which proposed a one way system on Kenyon St, suggested a multi story car park on the outskirts and questioned the existence of a traffic warden on duty at weekends.

The same poster also had another post about Nenagh on the same day.

Did the poster delete them?

Ya I heard it was Lidl that was going to be the main tenant of the place. I think the planning application allowed for a number of other units. Once the anchor tenant is sorted the rest should follow along.

17 year old polish girl committed suicide. My daughter used to sit beside her in accountancy class. She is still taking it very hard. Poor girl.My thoughts are with her family and friends right now. RIP

Keep an eye on her Natasha. Having experienced a bad grieving process myself and seen other people interact with grievance at a young age I think its important to discount nothing. I was down for 9-10 months and it effected everything from my Results on courses to my ability to motivate myself and I was 21 at the time.

She is not herself at the moment so watching her closely. Sorry to hear you went through the sad process of brievement. I hope everything is working out fine for you now. Thanks for your advice. Every little bit helps at such a sad time.

I signed up for imagine lte in November, since then I've been told it has been delayed because of 3Rd party contracters right up until the week before Christmas. Haven't heard anything so far from them this year.

I signed up on 21st Dec and still waiting.  Slow enough in getting information from them. Going to give them another 2 weeks and then giving up.

A lad I work with has been signed up with them since October, he hasn't heard anything from them but for one text message to say it was delayed. He's said their near impossible to get in contact with aswell.
