Work is on hold until the festival is over. The main mall still has trees to be planted and benches going in. They will start on the road from Ch up to Bridge street next.

The taxis who had occupied Denny st from the cropped boy to paddymacks appear to have finally been shifted. There are signs up stating that the rank is at Bridge lane beside Shaws.

The concentration of stalls in the centre of the Mall appears to be working well but I wonder if costa, der Sullivan's, quinlans fish are effected?

Taxis were back parked in their regular spot this evening....just even further into the road as the cones were still in place ..it's actually getting dangerous for cars coming down Denny st who wish to turn into castle st..

It is a total disgrace that a group like this can use bullyboy tactics, blatantly flout the law, put lives in danger and neither the KCC or the Gardai will do anything about it..saw a person almost get a ticket today in Ashe St for being 10 minutes over the time allowed to park, and yet these cowboy drivers can do what they want And not a word said against them..

So the cyclists can't use the lanes now!?

Haven't seen it but I'd imagine they can cycle inside the barrier if it was placed on the line.

Just arrived from England to visit family - didn't realise they'd be no live music in the square and Denny Street for the festival!

But as mentioned the crowds weren't too heavy in the past, there was only a few of us watching Sharon Shannon a couple of year's ago.

There is live music on both Denny Street & in the Square. Just not any major big names. See www.roseoftralee.ie for the program or they have an app this year!

Not a single taxi is down at the other designated ranks...so that would be hard.
Besides, they aren't idling engines, they are parked for 15-20 mins before they get a fair...need the Gardai to get heavy handed with them over the festival

From what I've heard the Gardai are of no use and are refusing to get involved as its a council issue.

Hard to blame them really taxi drivers are quite often eyes and ears for the Gardai around town!!

The wardens can only issue tickets for a parking offence. They cant issue a ticket to a moving car. All the Taxis need do when the warden appears is to keep the engine turning over and edge on a few meters.

It is dangerous how the park across the pedestrian crossings and do "U"ees at the Croppy Boy.

In fairness not all Taxis are at this crack so I suggest giving your business to the ordinary decent ones that obey the rules!

Taxis now parked in cycle lane outside Zip Yard/Costa on Denny street!

Just get someone to cycle into them. The threat of being sued might help them pull the finger out.

Cant stand taxis. They think they own the roads. I would never let a taxi out given the the chance.

The serial chipper name change in Castle street is changed, again! Now called 'Andy's' and apparently its Asian and European food!
Oh and they need staff!

They aren't allowed park in the cycle lane on Denny st either or outside Heatons not that that has stopped them.

Are they going to remove the red and white bollards at top of the mall alongside where the taxis are parking before the festival I wonder there's also traffic cones scattered around and a few barriers outside the AIB.

The mall looks fantastic but the few bits strewn around are ruining the overall look.

The work is apparently on hold now until the end of the festival, so I would assume they will need to move them for health & safety reasons while the festival is on? Wonder what the taxis will do though!? :rolleyes:
