You don't like Listowel. You don't like Tralee. Maybe you're just not a morning person?

Sounds like one of those days eh

Deli is located as your approaching the one way street, just round from freezers.

Agree with the breakfast rolls though, they fill a gap

I think it's under the railway bridge in Cahirdown ('the Mail Road' (is that what's written underneath)). The bridge is gone now. If I'm right it's after the tracks were taken up around 1990.

This photo was sent to me from South Carolina. I will check.
It could be the Mail Road ( I could not figure the writing out), and it is near Boltons Cross that this persons family lives.

Fear expressed for future of North Kerry secondary schools
Fear is being expressed for the future of some secondary schools in North Kerry. This follows the Minister for Educations publication of a series of pilot area development plans which proposes to amalgamate a number of schools in the county. The programme is to be piloted in 6 areas, these include Tralee, Ballybunion, Causeway, Tarbert, Castleisland and Listowel.

The draft plan recommends that Castleisland which currently has 3 secondary schools should only have one as its projected the population will decline there. Seamus Falvey, Principal of St Josephs Secondary, says they haven't been given enough time to get involved in the consultation process which determines the schools future.

Good thing, too, since the online edition of the Kerryman is 6 weeks old. :mad:
Kerry Eye Online and The Kingdom just ain't the same.
