    Hi all

    Thinking about heading to ballyb this week. Does the water fully cover the beach when the tide is in? Want to for a beach walk with the kids

    Thanks

    the tides are getting higher & higher this week, until they peak on 9th or 10th next week. when the tide is in this far, making your way along the Gents Beach / Long Strand can be impossible.

    High tide this weekend is Sat 4.30pm and Sun 5pm (approx), and at its highest 6.30 pm on Tues & 7pm on Wed . Im guessing you dont care about the middle of the night tides :-)

    But … good news …. the tide is only at its max for a short time, and if the beach is impassable when you intend to go, then wait 30-60 mins and you are good to go! Of course, if there is a lot of wind, then that keeps the tide higher for longer.

    If going out the Long Strand when the tide is coming in, be carefull. By the time you turn to come back it could be all the way in. If this happens, then take a short cut through the golf course. Just watch the balls!!

    Hi, visiting Ballybunion since the 80s as a child up to as recently as last month as an adult. Thinking recently about old pubs there. Mikey Joe's which is still going does anybody know what became of the old fella that had it in the 90s, sure his name was Mikey Joe but could be wrong. Also Stevies, which was ran by Stephen Brosnan, I think he's still with us or was up till very recently.

    The Fairway Bar, which was ran by John Carmody who was a builder. It's now gone too was last operated as the olde attic. A great pub in the 90s too which had a band called the spinning wheels playing there led by Brian Carr who is still around Tralee. There was cormac on keyboard and other members.

    Carrolls pub gone too was ran by a big fella with a grey hair. Jumbos fast food now gone but still operating as Perrozzi with great staff.

    An old man and woman who were brother and sister named Billy and Ceila who lived next to the old bakery and grew crops and kept a small pony. They were old so I assume passed, I'd love to know when. There house is occupied still today.

    A man that was always around wearing Wellingtons and monkey hat named Thomas, I always wonder what became of him?.

    Does anybody here remember these places and people?

    I wonder who's responsible for these two incidents? They're morons whoever they are.

    KCC could have installed CCTV cameras but they would have probably been destroyed as well.
