Anytime I look at any branded clothes in there the prices are always more expensive than what you'd pay in Kildare village Usually use it to pass away half an hour wandering around if I've nothing to do :-)

I didn’t go to the parade last night as it’s too late for my little boy. I don’t think there was meant to be a huge crowd at it due to the rain. I think there was a bigger crowd for it today as it wasn’t dry and warm. We went to the park for a while and it seemed busy.

Ciarrai76 wrote: » Maybe they wanted to push people over to Denny street so they would stay on there for the fireworks etc. Not sure what time the music ended there before the Rose was announced.

manoverboards wrote: » No the music finished on Denny Street at the same time, there was no entertainment anywhere in town. Seems bizarre given there was 1000s of people standing around for hours waiting for the parade. I think there was only one act on Denny Street all day yesterday, Hermatige Green from 9 to 10ish.
