Frozen yoghurt shop, Yogoland, opening in old Carmel's shop on Rock St. Seems a bit slightly off the beaten track for this type of business? Less tourist traffic down that way.

Also, Grill'n'Thrill cafe opening where Gaudinos was on Castle Street. Menu seems similar to Allegro etc but maybe with more kebab style options.

I walked passed Yogoland last week, it looks nice inside. I'd be surprised though if it lasts a year. I can't see it being too successful in the winter. I haven't even seen any sort of advertising of it yet. You would only know its there by driving/walking passed it!

There is also a mural of him on the corner of High St and Msgr O'Flaherty Rd in Killarney, and a more recent one in the centre of Cahersiveen, where he lived out his days and is buried in the church grounds.

A bit of a generalisation, but no surprise given your name:D

Was recently in BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA and saw for myself more proof of my above theory.Isaw and got first hand account of what both nationalistic and religious fervour does.Believe me we are better off without both

I see someone has installed a public Defib in The Mall next to Elvery Sports. A great addition to the town centre. Hope it wont be vandalised

Its a great idea, but I hope it won't be abused. As I heard someone say, its an extension of a neighbourhood watch. Here's a link to an interview with Ken Tobin on Newstalk

Saw a marked Garda car & 4 unmarked Garda cars race through Castle Street this morning all with sirens going. Intrigued to know what happened!? Did anyone hear about any incidents?

One thing they could do at the Island of Geese near the roundabout is get rid of that vile mural depicting the cowering masses looking up in awe at a smirking bishop. Who the f*ck commissioned that monstrosity in this day and age?

He's always portrayed the same way in reproductions - striding along with his long cassock (? not sure if that's the right word) flowing around him. He saved many people of all religions ( jews etc,) from the Nazis, and was played by Gregory Peck in film of his life. If he'd have been caught his Vatican status wouldn't have protected him from either a Nazi concentration camp or death even. I didn't see the mural in Tralee but I agree, if it's not him, with Bobcow.

Is that the mural for the Hugh O'Flaherty, the Scarlett Pimpernel? If it is, he did save the lives of 1000's of people during WW2 - I think that's kind of nice to honour a Kerryman who did so much good, saving lives.

If it's not Hugh O'Flaherty, then I suppose what's the point of it being there.

There is a very nice statue of him in Killarney next to the 2 carparks (don't know the name of the road) beside Killarney house.

If it is, then fair enough. I've only driven past it and haven't read the plaque.

Not sure if many gyms do pay as you go anymore. I think Hercules gym in Monavalley does pay as you go, but I don’t think they run classes, apart from personal training.

I just saw on facebook that Manor hotel do classes (including spinning), and it looks like they can be pay as you go. They also have a gym and a pool. https://www.facebook.com/821830077861553/photos/rpp.821830077861553/1984703244907558/?type=3&theater

Insomnia Coffee opening new cafe at Corrib Oil petrol station at John Joe Sheehy Road according to their Facebook page. Advertising for baristas. The page said Chopped is opening there also along with The Grill and Corrib Deli. Sounds impressive!

I'm looking for a gym that I can use in the tralee area- town or outskirts- that has pay as you go classes preferably. Not looking for full membership really as Id only be interested in using the gym from Mondays to Thursdays. Keenly interested in Spinning and circuits classes. Any suggestions? Thanks

That is Rock street! Great photos.

What are the odds we will be gouged for a few more quid by the council

They asked for public submissions on the property tax last year too but they still increased it. I bet they will increase it again. While other counties decreased theirs, Kerry Coco increases it here! I don’t trust them not to do it again.

Where is the big clothes shop that was next to Pennys gone, it had a lovely restaurant up stairs, as well as lots of bedding and towels along with kitchenware, and clothese downstairs, I think Heatons was the name of it

Heatons was taklen over by Sports Direct and all the shops are in the process of being rebranded to Sports World.

The new layout incorporates the old "Sports World", "USC" which is a casual chain in the UK with a similar formula to DV8 and in some shops "Flannells" whic is an upmarket UK Menswear chain.

If they ever sort out their HR attitude, the will be a major player in the Sports/Lifestyle market

Theres a Jack and Jones clothes section for sure in there now. Might be other sections too but wasn't paying attention.

Yeah, much/most of the ground floor is 'street' fashion. Proper sports gear is mainly on the first floor, with some homeware and other bits on the top floor.

Since I did see the sports ad over the door, I did not go in, so it is all sports clothes now, or do they have a variety of stuff there as before

There is finally some activity going on in the abandoned building in the old Jeanie Johnston shipyard behind the windmill. I have only ever seen that place boarded up, but today people were apparently replacing broken windows and such. No idea what's in the pipeline, but lets hope someone will put it to good use after all those years...
