He never said that he asked a question about council estates and the high horse brigade rode into town.
If ye were unable to address the question asked why reply.

I think if you read all the posts, you will find that we were pointing out that you go on a waiting list, not go around looking for empty houses and asking the Council if you could have one. It was also pointed out that Council estates, as they used be are no more. Many people have bought their houses out. The newer estates are a mixture of private and social housing, so it's not easy for a person to tell who owns what.

Can't remember seeing any in ages. Maybe keep an eye on the local services section of the Nationalist.

Did you read it ? he said he knew how the system works all he wanted was a heads up on where some houses might be available. A simple enough question if you knew you could have posted if you didn't fair enough.
There was absolutely no need to come across with the we know all, you can't do it that way attitude.
There's nothing wrong with been proactive in these situations and been armed with as much information as you can gather.

His/Her question was kind of hard to answer tough to be honest. In most towns I know the older council housing estates have lately being bought by the tenants and newer developments have a mix of private and social housing.
So if Clonmel is the same. The OP was basically asking for list of nearly every estate/street in the town and even by driving around the town how would they know if a house that looked vacant was private/council by looking at it.

So what you're saying is you didn't have an answer to his question so why then reply and pour scorn on his very admirable attempts to help a friend

Yes I've an answer to the OP's question. There's older council estates which have being bought by there residents and in newer estates there's a mix of social and council housing. I also said that he wouldn't know if a vacant house was a council or private house by looking at it. This is a realistic answer in my opinion.

Bernard doyle had a shop for many years across from the credit union,and did repairs.The shop is closed now,but a while back I saw an advert saying he still did repairs..it was in the free paper..

The answers that poster got were appropriate and given in a respectful tone with good intentions. He/she then proceeded to get defensive for some reason, most likely because he/she failed to comprehend the replies correctly and/or suffers from severe bouts of paranoia.

[Deleted User]

I agree..the replies explained the correct way to go about looking for a house,and you cant just go
out,pick a house/area,abd ring up and say you want that one.

BUT, and I promise this will be my last word on the subject, I didn't need to know how to go about getting a house, I just wanted to know where the council estates were - the established ones, not every street in the town, or the new estates with mixed housing, just the known housing estates. If people didn't know, they needn't have posted - the other posters just assumed I didn't know the system, I just wanted info, that was all. Not a whole load of "you can't do that". When you speak to the housing department they do ask you what area would you like (depending on schools, work, etc), I just wanted information. Anyway, my friends are grand, hopefully will be sorted soon and I do appreciate the information I got.

That makes things clearer. As already said, there are no Council estates any more. You might have gotten better answers if you had asked what Estates to avoid, but we would all have been banned for life if we answered that!

Out of interest, anyone know how long the housing list is now in the Clonmel area?

Can anyone recommend a radio/stereo/CD repair in Clonmel? I have a fairly good unit but it's out of guarantee, so I'd like to see if it can be fixed, rather than replaced.

Thanks!

There always McDonald's.

Actually you can try the hotels, they'll let you in for breakfast usually if you agree to pay.

Drive Rite. Michael is excellent, tried someone else for a few lessons before him and the difference was crazy. Can't recommend him highly enough.

I notice the Junction Festival are (now) a registered charity - anybody know if this was always the case and how it's possible that they are regarded as such?

I also notice they have new signage on the approaches to town under existing permanent signs and afixed to these sign's posts - are there not supposed to be some planning permission hoops to jump through to allow this to happen?

Any idea where I could get waist thread for joggers? (The thread which is around the waist to tighten up the joggers)
Lost it during drying on my new joggers

I'm not 100% sure what you are looking for but I would imagine that the sewing shop on O'Connell Street beside Pennys is your best bet for threads of any description.

And where apart from a sewing shop would you expect to find cotton cord?
