Credit where Credit is due

Minister

With a lot of talk of the tough times in Waterford I would like to respectfully suggest a thread that gives credit or acknowledges good service received. Hopefully an outsider coming to town will support also, or a local may give the business a go.

To kick off; I had to get a car and a box trailer valeted in a hurry as a potential buyer coming to see both tomorrow (courtesy of Donedeal). A friend recommended Bright Valeting down in the Waterside where H and H motors used to be. It was an awkward job and I was not booked in but a very nice lady who runs the place said she would have the job done by this evening. After a haggle I got a fair price and she even waited until six for me to collect as I was late

Fair play Madam and thanks. The car is fantastic after it. I wont leave anyone in it as its so clean!!

Well done Waterford hotel....amazing stuff on our doorstep.

Not just to the Cliff house but the article gives a big nod to the South east in general for 'staycations' as they put it.

Love to see visitor numbers reflect what we really have to offer rather than the west and the Wild Atlantic Way getting all the plaudits.

Billy Ryan tyres, Ferrybank. Gave good advice re selling a car and good service too!!

Fair play to Mary Frances Ryan for article in n&s about local amish menonite community, really interesting and informative.just normal people from a close community with a strong faith.part 2 next week.

Credit to AA Roadwatch, who always include Waterford in their city traffic reports, even if it's moving freely all around. So many organisations only refer to Creedon's cities.

Likewise, hats off to Daft.ie for the same reason.

She is an extremely capable and talented editor. The News and Star has never been as relevant or ground breaking to read as it has under her watch.

This is also down to the journalists which are there also, Darren Skelton is an excellent journalist.

Yes he is also good. He can be a bit narrow minded though when it comes to attacking the health service. We all know trolleys, cardiac care etc is needed but he focusses practically his attention and wrath on the Minister, a chap barely out of school who inherited a poisoned chalice of bloated top-heavy management and incompetent procedures. Theres a reason why all the previous ministers couldn't make HSE change, its bigger than just one person.

more investment for Waterford

Everything I hear about this place and the chap running the show (reynier) looks like shaping up to be some serious high quality product and a major asset to Waterford, hopefully visitor centre won't be to far away once they start selling.
Plus, we'll have the best whiskey and beer in the country.

WCCC is going to take over Mount Congreve. This is good news and the best way that its potential as a tourist attraction can be maximised. It’s an incredible garden and a priceless asset to Waterford.

Max Powers

Credit to momos, Davy Macs and others representing Waterford well...something that in general in Ireland could be improved, customer service..anyway, these few obviously doing it well.

I thought the food in Bay Tree Bistro was lovely but having read a few reviews of the place on TripAdvisor I was left with am impression that the head chef is an extremely thin skinned chap. The merest HINT of criticism and he replies in a very insulting and childish manner like a teenager throwing a strop-unprofessional to say the least.

Must check place and chefs responses out...my little reading of things like that are generally stupid complaints about the food, the chef knows bit more than most so I'm happy to see him challenge.complaints about time/service a bit different..e.g. hard to argue food not late if you were waitingfor long time.

dont knw if it was mentioned already but congrats to Davey Macs for getting voted 'Munsters best pub' last week at the irish restaurant awards

Just had a look on Tripadvisor. Seems an absolute dickhead to be honest.

Another podium finish for Sam Bennett.. giro going info mountains towards end which according to paper will be a test for him.tough sport to even finish these tours, fair play to him.
