Heading down to Killarney for a few days with the oh soon.

Any suggestions on places to see?

Muckross House and Gardens. Lots of good walks around
Ross Castle. V handy to town
Muckross Abbey
Stroll in around Killarney House, the Demesne and the National Park if you are around town when it's open.
If you are looking for a day-time trip - the Gap trip - through the Gap of Dunloe on either foot, jaunting car, bike and then down through the Lakes on bike.
Check out whats on at the INEC - may or may not be something to suit your taste depending on when you are down.

Races are on the week after next, Beerfest is on the last weekend of May and the Bike Fest is on the first weekend of June so there will be a fair old buzz at them.

The Killarney.ie site is fairly good at the attractions - the events section could be better.

Just some stuff off the top of the head - enjoy the visit.

Anyone know if the Waste and Recycling Center in Coolcashlagh is still in operation?

AFAIK its still in operation but now you have to pay for Recycling.

You need to Pre-purchase Disposal Bags :mad:

It's definitely still open - was up there during the week.

You definitely don't need to pay for all recycling there - just some categories of stuff - I dumped a huge bunch of cardboard into the crushing machine at no charge.

They look to have tidied up/sorted out the layout a bit.

Hi guys. Anyone know where I can buy birdseed in town? Does the hardware shop on College St. carry it?

I think Dealz sell wild bird seed too. They might sell other bird seed too.

Maybe the vets on the Park Road stock it? On the left as you leave town.

Daft has rooms in share houses up very regularly.

I left Killarney last week. I was paying €65 a week. My room went up on daft for €75 and within a few hours it was gone. Summer in Killarney is crazy so if you can wait until the students go back to college and hotel staff aren't all around you'd be better off waiting. Unfortunately if you need somewhere now it sucks

Any recommendations of somewhere to service a road bike ?

Time to start back cycling again!

As said the big little bike shop. Or else O Sullivans bike shop. I bike or motion cycles. Think that's all in Killarney

Hi, anyone know if Liebherr are hiring floor staff and if so, where do they advertise/how to apply?

Thanks.

You might drop off your CV at their office if you live in Killarney or you could drop by their place for an employment application. It's a very busy company and i imagine that they're always interested in hiring good workers. If you do not live in the area a phone call to them would give you the information on which jobs are available. Good luck.

The Muckross house website states that it's open until 6 pm. I assumed that it also meant that the cafe would have the same hours, but when I tried to go in there last Wednesday at 4.50 pm it had the closed sign up. It seems a bit early to be closing for such a busy place. I'm wondering if perhaps they might have staffing problems?!

Restaurant apparently open peak season 9-7 and off peak 9-5 although I think it said hot food only until 4

Doing up a chest of drawers and need to replace the plastic runners that the drawers slide in and out on...

Anybody have any clue where I'd get them ??
