Argos have armbands on their website, you'll have to check which ones are available in Tralee.

Can anyone tell me where I could buy arm bands for children in Tralee?
I checked Heatons and Tesco but no Joy, Im not in Tralee often so im not sure where to try.

Best bet would probably be either the aqua dome or the complex. They usually have them for sale at the shop/reception there.

Other than that, I'm not too sure tbh

Hey everyone, hope it's ok to post this in this thread,

I have just been offered a part time course in IT Tralee which will be starting on the 14th of this month, as I'm from the midlands I will have to move down and also look for part time work along with the course,

The only thing is it seems impossible at this stage to find any accomodation, I have spent half the day ringing people, I was just wondering does anyone know of anybody that's renting a spare room or know of some house shares, it will have to be around the town as I've only got a bike,

I've tried the usual websites like daft.ie, rent.ie and have rang the student union but they all the accomodation is full on the list they have,

Hopefully someone can help me out and point me in the right direction haha, thanks

Has anyone been into Seanacara in Edward street yet? I saw they have a Facebook page (although only a friend page rather than a business page which you like). They are more a deli than the other one in town. I haven't been into it yet so not sure what it's like.

I noticed that the clothes shop 'Divas' (was divas & dudes) on castle st has closed down.

Oh and I heard Toni's at Clash roundabout are doing fish & chips now and is meant to be very good!

I didnt even know Seancara had opened another shop!

I was in Toni's a few weeks ago and thought it was very sparse in there, so no harm if they have added something new.

Depends on what you're looking for to be truthful.
Are you looking for a private minder? Some can charge €13.00 an hour, the majority around €10.00. If you're talking crèche, there are a load of options, St Brigid's in Hawley park take children at a very early age , but you have to get your name in quickly as they are always busy and preference is given to people living or working in that area of town
Other than that, Sunflowers crèche in Pembroke square are brilliant, contact Davena as I'm not sure what is their lower age limit .
Also, Oakview village childcare are brilliant and have win some national awards, Clodagh or Niamh should give you some idea as to their age groupings
Hope this helps a little

Thanks for the info, must check them out.

Just wondering if anyone here who have kids, can advise how soon should a baby be enrolled into childcare and if I could get some recommendations?
Preferably ones who are flexible as it won't be a full week. Baby is only 8 weeks, so not back to work until December, but not sure when I should be sorting it out!

I seem to to remember that Kellihers (Toyota Garage) owned that.

I think both sides of the plaza are owned between Horans and Michael Kelliher 1935 who were involved in the construction of An SeanMhuilleann, but they may have sold their share many years ago

Did Donie Horan own this?

Always feel like they could do with more with the Tesco end of it, between the cars driving around the car park, taxis picking people up from Tesco and people trying to cross in between that railing it's a bit of a disaster.
Hope no tennants are affected by rent increases (purely speculation), as the stores that are down there are the kind of quality that Tralee needs.

Bord Pleanala have given the go ahead for Topaz to build a petrol station next to Aldi on the John Joe Sheehy road. While I'd prefer to see a more interesting business open there (aren't there 4 or 5 other garages in the area??), I'm glad to see the last vacant site on that road being developed.

It is a rather bizarre decision as it goes against the town and county development plans and the recommendation of ABP's own inspector to reject planning. Joe O'Connor must be spitting fire as he submitted a very robust and well-argued appeal!

It will be the death of the filling station in the Horan Centre anyway and will only add to traffic congestion on JJS Road.

You can have your say on the Denny's site by doing a survey on their website www.theislandtralee.ie

Ate in No. 4 on the Square Friday evening.

Overall enjoyed it. The service was painfully slow however. We went in, took our seats, got some drinks and the menus. From there we were waiting a solid 30 mins with waiting staff behind the bar talking. Think the problem was that the "boss" gave us the menus and she wasn't going to come back around to take our order.

Eventually we had to ask a waitress if she could take our order. Another couple who were also waiting similarly long, walked out, as did another group of 4 (not because they were waiting for a long time, however)

Anyway, we weren't waiting long for the food. It was really good. I got the steak, cooked nicely, and OH got the fajitas, which were also really good. Dessert was the ice cream with nuts and butterscotch sauce, would be back again even just for this.

Interior is also very nicely decorated. Overall, a solid 8/10.

I wonder will he have equipment? If it's locked into the gym? Mmm, I don't trust it! You wouldn't be locked out of your business because you got a new landlord? i think someone is telling porkies and hasn't being paying his rent for perhaps a year or two (pure speculation of course ðŸ˜‰)

The camper van isn't blocking the front door anymore (passed there today) so he may be able to get his stuff out now.

I think a farmers market in the old Denny's site would be good too. They could use it for a few things really.

Not at the moment. There have been plans for one for a long time but nothing seems to come of it. The council is looking for submissions as to what should be done with the old Denny site & a skate park has been mentioned by quite a few people.

Yeah, but my fave suggestion so far is a museum ! Do it up and have walking tours of how the pigs were killed,!

You couldn't make it up....who the fck wants to see where all the poor bastard pigs were killed.
"Hey kids, will we go to the aquadome today, or maybe the wetlands"?
"Nah dad. we wanna go see where they butchered millions of pigs"!
the gift shop will be selling Denny rashers I guess
