Last year was a beautiful day for it so it's a shame it was a bit of a wash out. There was a lot of people around this evening though. I went into town around 7.30 to pick up a take away from Quinlans and it was impossible to get parked! Good to see it so busy around.

I went there last year with my mother, the previous time was probably back in 1995. I don't think the menu had changed since but I guess it's appeal was that it was reassuringly familiar to it's clientele. My grandmother religiously went there every Thursday for their roast beef! :-)

It involved a 'feud' between a local family and an East European family (this could be code for Traveller and Roma BTW). One person was stabbed and a range of weapons were used. A large number of Gardai were required to bring about any order and they maintained a presence in the Square until midday the following day.
