Recommend a reliable plumber in Ennis?

    Can anyone recommend a reliable plumber in Ennis? I phoned a guy last week about a job, and he said he'd do it today. I took the day off so I'd be at home for him to come. I had a feeling he'd mess me around, and sure enough, no sign of him this morning. He had his phone off until 10.30, and now he's letting it ring out with no voicemail. So time to move on to someone who wants the work.

    I've found great electricians, tilers and gas fitters, but always have trouble with plumbers. One sham about 10 years ago came out to fit a shower. He drilled 2 holes in the wall, then said he needed 120 euro to buy parts. I stupidly gave it to him, and off he went and didn't come back. Weeks of excuses and missed appointments later, I tracked down his home address. His parents cried on their doorstep when I told them the story, saying that he was a hopeless alcoholic and was doing stuff like this all the time. I learned my lesson that day about paying up front, but still it would be nice to have a plumber that would at least make the effort to keep their appointments.
