This is interesting. Do you know who is hosting the meeting?

I can't find seem to find out; all I know is that two of the speakers are from County Councils (Mayo and Tipperary, the former an architect) and a member from Retail Excellence Ireland.

I'd prefer to see a more prominent role given to someone trading in the town, but hopefully there will be a high turnout in the room.

The town needs a real, cohesive and clear plan. No more fluff about regeneration and technology -- we need clarity, efficiency, specifics for the current trading year.

Did you give it socks ATNM??

I see lots of new developments being bandied about, new chemist down the lane beside the Hi-B, and another one seemingly going in opposite Mulrooneys. There's also talk of a coffee shop going in to the empty units at Lidl, and development of the structure in the retail park for same. I'm also hearing a rumbling that the old Dunnes might finally be getting developed into something.

Yes, report in Guardian this week about those.

Heard that LIDL trying to get the new Home savers closed down??!! Apparently they had to remove food from the aisles but LIDL still not happy? Saw petition on local Facebook page to boycott LIDL because of it.

No way, I gave up buying the Guardian, there's only so many articles one can read about the latest drink driving/alcohol theft/drug offences before it becomes non news. Also, every second pat is trying to sell me a new car

Does anyone install dashcams in Nenagh? I've a 191 car and because it's not the car's own dashcam the main dealer won't install.

Give Top Part on the Dublin Road a call - (067) 34390.

They supply car accessories and while they may not do installations they surely know someone who does.

for boy or girl?
Borrisokane Borrisoleigh also options. Plenty from nenagh close to town attend each as well

Brothers is much better than when I was there which is a long while ago.
What preference would you have?

Even though i have no dog in the fight, i'd hold the Vocational higher than the Brothers. Given the choice though i'd elect to send to Borrisokane.

Depends on what you're after. Andy Flynns is good for pub lunch, as is the Half Door. If it's something outside that, like salads, soups, wraps etc, Cinnamon Alley or The Pantry are good too.

Vodafone broadband acting up for anyone else this evening?

A Friend of mine and his 15 well respected, non alcoholic friends who are all not from Nenagh are doing 12 Pubs of Nenagh in a few weeks and are looking for best route and best pubs to hit in town, and also the pubs to avoid etc.

My initial thoughts are the route would be

The Dapp Inn
Rohan's Pub
Andy's
The Well
The Kenyon Bar
the Talbot
Louie's Pub (Mac Mathuna)
Lily's Bar ???
Hi B
Rockys
Half Door
Una Powells

Boscoirl

Better off to start up in Summerhill. They won’t get into Una’s late doing a 12 pubs

sligojoek

Summerhill could be a hard climb after 10 pints.

Boscoirl

If I was doing a 12 pubs(which I wouldn’t, I’d just go to 1pub and have 12pints. But that’s just me) I would go


Una’s
Figgertys
The 44
Rocky’s
The Well
Rohan’s
Philly’s
The Silvermine
The Quill(just to see Flash’s face when 15 people come in at once )
Lily’s
Kenyon
Talbot

irelandjoe

As far as I know the following are still open:

Ryan's Fruit & Veg
Denis' Meats
Hackett's Butchers

Shop local folks! These small shops coming out of this intact really depends on you and your custom.

Supermacs still open and delivering, don't think there is too many other takeaways going.
O sullivans butchers is still open, all of the petrol stations. Bank of Ireland in nenagh is not of of the branches closing temporarily thankfully. In terms of supermarkets, can only talk about tesco as I haven't been in the others recently.
They are open for elderly and carers 8 to 9am Mon, wed and Friday mornings. Queuing system and plastic screens at tills. Sanitiser at entrance, and trollies are wiped down. Mulrooneys doing a great job as well, sanitiser, queuing system and pumps clean and stocked with gloves.
