I saw no posters up anywhere, apart from a few leaflets in Costa. I had hear about it as I saw it here & Facebook, but a lot of people who are facebook users & live locally said they heard very last minute about it. Obviously not everyone will hear about it, and there's only so much advertising you can do. My business got 1 leaflet of the event through the the post, but none dropped in for customers nor any posters.

I'd imagine times and events can be sketchy right up to the event which is why they go out last minute?!? Personally I've seen or heard it advertised a minimum of two weeks prior to this weekend!!! They even had the medieval reenactors on radio Kerry on Friday!!! I picked up my flyer in the tourist kiosk..... Plenty of them there!!!! I also collected extra for my place of work as I thought it would be good to help spread the word. Tralee people will never change ...... There happier finding faults to moan about than encouraging what was a fantastic weekend for our town ..... (I'm born and bred in Tralee btw) I attended the weekend and thought it was fantastic. I also attended the medieval banquet Saturday night and it was fantastic. A great nights entertainment, food and wine all for 10 quid.

I think what happened is the council had a contractor build the leisure centre, the roof was subbed out to this crowd who haven't got paid by the contractor and now they are after the council for money. They will have long wait as council have paid their bills and contractor I assume is gone bust. Same thing happened them in Kerry technology park. They had a truck parked there for a while too with something similar on it

If the council have already paid the contractor then they (and you and I, the tax/ratepayer) have done their bit and it's between the contractor and subcontractor. I understand the roofing crowd's dilemma but it's not fair to expect a client to have to double pay for a service just because the middle man f**d up with the payment they already received from the council. The contractor should be pursued through whatever legal avenues are available. I think the blame is being unfairly apportioned. If you bought a 2016 Volkswagen Passat for €25K from a local dealer who went bust and they failed to pay VW Ireland the necessary proceeds for providing the car, should you pay for the car a second time because the dealer has gone bust and the distributor is chasing for it's money?

Weird because then there was a few more screenings the next week. Just couldn't fathom how a movie like that only had one showing while bloody Alice Through the Looking Glass had five.
