I dropped in there for lunch, and while I was waiting, she gave some French-speaking visitors their order (or some part of it) on the house, because it had taken a long time to be served to their table. Not sure whether this is in-house policy or at her discretion, but it left me with a very good impression. Not only that, but when she saw that they were fascinated by the decor and range of drinks behind the bar, she offered to let them in behind the bar and take their picture. Definite brownie points on TripAdvisor!

***Incident Call-out*** At 21:45 tonight 07/07/18 our pagers were activated by MRCC (Marine Rescue Coordination Centre) Irish Coast Guard to a report of a person in the water near Rice Bridge. Crew responded and ILB was launched at 21:54 approximately and proceeded up river just past Rice Bridge where the casualty had been secured in the water by a very courageous passer by, who also entered the water with the aid of a Ring Buoy. Both persons were recovered and taken onboard with the main causality in a very distressed state, immediate first aid was given to the causality. But for the fast thinking of the passer by and the use of the Life Buoy which was secured on land this could have been a different outcome, both were taken back to The Plaza Marina and with the assistance of Waterford City Fire Service both casualty and rescuer were passed onto the care of Waterford Ambulance Station Also at scene at the time were Waterford Gardai and Rescue 117. Crew were stood-down by MRCC at approx 22:15. We really do hope the person receives the treatment they need and a massive well-done to the passerby for their assistance.

I have mentioned it before, our local papers are vital if you want to know what is going on locally. most of the news or more accurately, rumor read in this forum turns out to be Nonsense. Obviously, the interview I reference above is not news but if you want accurate information, in general, support and get your news from a local paper or a reputable national paper.fair play Munster express, n&s, etc

Full of totally uninteresting and irrelevant stories, topics spawned by a host of uneducated and illiterate for the want of a better phrase witch doctors!

Migrant issues between Austria and Germany also not being reported! Did the rescue of a group of guys trapped in a cave in Thailand deserve so much international attention? Thousands of people dying of starvation across Africa? The purchase of over €1.5m worth of vehicles by WCC was quickly brushed under the carpet, why? All we're hearing about is Brexit when all it is being used for is a distraction! UK won't be leaving the EU!

It was actually Darren Skelton from the News and Star that actually broke this story in the first place, If it wasn’t for his dogged work and not taking no for an answer, this would never have made the National papers.
