  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red

    You think thats bad, look for belfast. Gorey is still the closest one to waterford though by my reckoning :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭squishykins

    That's what the map said though...? And the ice cream parlour is upstairs, which you can't get to without a ticket?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭squishykins


    Oh wait, I see where you saw that now, so nowhere in the city centre? :(

    The map just shows you the location of scoop shops, not the shops that the promotion is running in. See post #8 for participating shops.

    Edit: You beat me! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Sweet... Pavillions is within walking distance from me. Tomorrow shall be now known as second Christmas!

    Liffey Valley is not participating. Tight b@stards :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 544 ✭✭✭coffee to go


    I would be 75% confident that the one in the Newbridge Whitewater beside the Odeon was advertising this at the weekend, though it isn't listed on the map.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,238 ✭✭✭✭thesandeman


    It's telling me the nearest one to Galway is Derry :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 397 ✭✭Libera


    Tried Tallaght at lunchtime and was told it only applies from 6 - 9 p.m. there. Staff said they have received next to no info on the offer.

    you can get the ice-cream by giving a minimum of €1 towards a children's charity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,338 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    Both dundrum locations have no conditions. Ask and you shall receive.(well not now though, it finished after 7)





    Yes, I went to both locations. What of it?

    not surprised in the slightest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,338 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    We got the impression that we were the first to actually ask for the free cone in the adventure centre in dundrum.
    The girl seemed kind of surprised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    I got two in the cinema in dundrum. One before going in at about 6.15 and one after around 8. Nom nom.

    They seem to reply really quickly on their facebook page.

    But yeah they should've made sure that all the staff knew what the deal was, and they should've let the customers know beforehand if the individual outlets were gonna have their own T&C.
