The butchers has had a smashed window for over two years now & no attempt to repair it. I hope the landlords get off their asses & start maintaining them! Do the council fine them if the work isn’t carried out?

First I had heard of it, great news. Bit of a bluff, Amazon have work at home jobs available to anyone in Ireland for a long time, what's different here is the chamber alliance are actively promoting it which is good, people may not necessarily realise that these types of jobs are around

I saw someone mention the road up Clounalour to the sports complex, and that it’s still not been resurfaced since Irish water dug it up a few weeks ago. I think the council have said it’s up to Irish water tonhave it done, but I don’t know why they’re not putting pressure on them. The residents there must be going mad.

It seems incredibly wrong that we need to wait for 'the great and the good' to venture into town for sub-standard infrastructure to be made right. I understand that the turn off at Counihan's shop for the Aquadome/ town centre was also miraculously repaired. It seems that local folks should be prepared to tolerate 'any old thing' for as long as required but God forbid that 'a somebody' might be obliged to rattle their bones on a bumpy, rutted surface. Could someone famous announce that they would really like a drive along Clash Road in the not too distant future?

I’m not so sure that publicity will we worldwide or that it would make people visit just because the royals did. Siamsa Tire’s main audience during their summer season are Germans, can’t see an influx of more Germans visiting just because prince Charles did. Don’t get me wrong of course the visit has had some positive effects. I’m just not so sure if those effects were big enough to warrant the fuss, scale and money that went in to the prior planning and the actual event itself. The amount of extra Gardai about was phenomenal both in uniform and plain clothes. The cost of that alone to the state is quite substantial I’d imagine. Does anyone know if the royals contribute financially to visits???

Clab mor wrote: » The high builders fencing that was erected was a complete joke it was ugly and prevented members of the public getting to have a look. Seemed it was only a visit for the councillors and extinguished guests rather than the actual town. Members of royal family can walk from one end of the street to the next in the UK shaking hands with the public. Here in Tralee you needed binoculars just to see them. Absolutely ridiculous. Was the visit really as good for the town as people are making out?? What were the benefits??? One could say that is was a morale boost for the town but as I say most of the locals I met trying to get a look in were very disappointed with the set up.
