    Do you need to book a table in advance if visiting a pub now? Was hoping to watch the Liverpool match on Thursday with a drink, the 90 minutes isn't ideal for going to watch a match due to half time, 2 hours would have been good.


    Curragower is taking walk ins.

    For Kilmurry Lodge you have the phone up and prebook. Heard 1st pint is €10 if you don't buy grub.

    Videos in Castletroy a total disgrace today, highly dangerous and disrespectful to everyone working frontline and anyone obeying social distancing.

    On a side note the Undertakers involved are a total joke and hope they get prosecuted.

    Any links? The entire area has gone to the dogs the last few months, guards doing nothing to stop groups of almost 50 teenagers gathering throughout the lockdown.

    Wonder will our local media hacks who stalk boards write a story on it.

    Wonder will Pavee point condemn it.

    Wonder what the frontline workers will make of it.

    More videos doing the rounds of the friends and family following the hearse and hanging out the windows of the expected Hummerzines. Loads of videos actually. All recorded by the funeral party. The travelers are great for videoing and publishing evidence.

    The place must have been full of Passats and Avensis parked everywhere, usually their favorite company car.

    Judging by some of the screenshots going around of Facebook comments, the family of the cultural deceased are blaming the cyclist for the death of their cultural member.

    Haha I hope so too!!! :eek:

    Fingers crossed its not. Seems to be a lot of businesses announced last couple of weeks they won't re-open. Going to be a big change in the retail landscape.

    If the colleges/unis don't re-open as normal then also the accommodation and social changes in Limerick will be a big change.

    A lot of parents have already booked accommodation and you'd have a large number of students who still need to rent in Limerick to try get part time work or because they have no bus/train/car to get to college from their home.

    I'd say the rental market will only be impacted by those living within commuting distance of UL who are able to travel in for a week at a time and therefore won't have the same requirement or desire to rent closer to UL.

    Apparently there is murmurs from some lecturers/professors that it's not workable as it's currently being suggested

    maybe but there are also many courses that are more than just book learning and require use of the practical labs and studios - engineering, architecture, industrial design, probably the music/dance area, medical, science.

    I presume thats what the contact weeks are about ,either way they cant just dump 10-12k students back on one campus when this is still all around.

    while there will always be a need for practical lab sessions, most time is allocated irresponsibly. first years come in to labs in many courses to watch a video on lab safety. A lot of lab sessions in certain courses are just learning to use CAD.
    a lot of stem graduates from UL would struggle to recognise basic lab equipment when in industry. Not specific to UL.

    The proposed 1 in 3 weeks on campus would go a long way towards improving education as the onus is on the faculty to ensure that students know what they are doing before they come on campus.
