    That is just taunting the rest the country... harsh to taste heaven, and then never to get to go back.

    Will they be fresh though? Are they the packaged ones? I always find the blaa's in the packs arent as nice as the loose ones.

    Yeah you're right. Those 6 pack ones aren't great, they stay soft for about a week. The loose ones are like rocks the next day.

    Well think about it - a product that turns to rock in a day is not much use for a massive chain, buy proper blaas in your local shop that gets daily deliveries

    Any real Waterford blaa aficionados on here at all? Go into Hickey's in Barrack Street and you always get offered hard or soft blaas. I like the hard top myself. Hickey's also offer a large sliced pan in flat top for toast or round top for traditional sandwiches. That's class.

    Love their blaas, but it puts me off a bit when she licks her finger to open the plastic bag, probably not doing it now as I assume they're all pre-bagged!

    In fairness I see that in a lot of places not only up there, it's disgusting to be honest

    Is this related to the large offshore wind farm proposal off our coastline mentioned last Autumn?

    There is big plans afoot for the port. Iv heard much about it through work. It is busy over there and it badly needs an upgrade so any investment is welcome.

    Funnily enough when the whole country was being stood down at the end of March/start of April that place stayed open. It was apparently full of various types of contractors all working in close proximity to each other. I heard of this through a friend who was working on that site. They themselves used to travel from Wexford everyday for work there. Maybe it got shut down at some stage im not so sure i must ask him. If he didnt i dont know how it was allowed to stay open.

    IWEA CEO Dr.David Connolly was interviewed on Morning Ireland on May 28th re the above report. He named several ports that might be suitable, Belview wasn’t
    mentioned.

    Dunno then! I presume the CEO of Port of Waterford didn't make anything when he spoke.

    For what its worth, some of the largest shipments of wind turbines have been imported through Port of Waterford in recent years. Hardly any surprise to anyone here that someone didn't mention Waterford?
