Roundys bar is closed for a couple of weeks as the owners plan to take it over again and do a bit of renovations. They are looking for staff by the way!

I know her too, really nice lady. I went to the same secondary school as her! She's actually a first cousin of Eamonn Fitzmaurice.

Ya I've seen those too. Something to do with some meeting and impact of something or other. Don't think it was Brexit.

Saw poster of her on a esb pole here about a meeting on local issues that took place in village last night

I saw an election poster for Cllr. Aoife Thornton up on the Listowel road. I couldn't tell what it said as it was falling off the pole!

If its an election poster its illegal. There is a growing trend of politicians putting up posters, which are almost identical to election posters, to advertise an event which (they think) is of great public interest. Such posters are unfortunately exempted under the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001-2015, but one of the conditions states "No such advertisement shall be exhibited more than 2.5 metres above ground level or be glued, pasted or otherwise affixed to any structure other than an advertisement structure."

Queries etc should be addressed to the Planning Dept in Kerry CoCo.

You may read a summary of the Regs on election posters on the Dept of Communications, Climate Action and Environment website :https://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/environment/topics/waste/litter/Pages/Election-Posters0331-3567.aspx

Couldn't make out which party - the letters are indistinct because of typeset and colour background. That might be intentional though.

I think I saw some of Sean Kellys posters down by the garden center too.

And it's causing much increased congestion of traffic coming from Oakpark because the right-arrow lights are not properly sequenced to the respective levels of traffic turning right at the junction from each direction.

Yeah I got caught in the tailback from that! Hopefully it’s sorted out.

Finally the council put in a right turn feeder light at the Edward Street junction onto John Joe Sheehy Road! It’s been impossible to turn right there, especially since they diverted traffic from road works. Will be so much easier now.

Everyone seems to be ignoring the signage at Boherbee. Not that it is especially clear in the first place.

Saw the Gardai stopping a woman at the barriers who was trying to drive up. Two seconds later a guy came out of the laneway and turned left straight up the one way part where they are now working further up Boherbee. People are taking very little notice of the signs, which as you said aren't very clear anyway!

A colleague has asked me is there anyone who does one to one irish conversational lessons in Tralee? Anyone help?

Maybe contact Gaelcholaiste Chiarrai Irish secondary school. They may have a list of tutors.

Chancer3001

loads of Irish teachers do grinds for school kids.

Just hire one of them. Would be expensive enough though, 30-50 an hour.

Jack & Jones in Abbey court are closing. Apparently the rent is being increased and as their lease is up they won’t be renewing it. They have a sale on at the moment. They havent ruled out reopening in another unit, but I don’t think they know when or where yet.

Unfair on the staff who have more or less lost their jobs.

There seemed to be some sort of sinkhole appear in Oakpark, between the entrance to Riverside and Oaklands. I was driving up yesterday eve and drove into a great big dip in road that I didn't notice and it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. They had a huge big hole dug in the road this morning fixing it. It couldn't have been just a pothole as the area they dug today was quite big.

Nice to see better traffic management plan there with timer lights, compared to the joke of a traffic management in Boherbee!

Ciarrai76

Boherbee is a disaster at the moment. They have blocked off so much of the road that it is very hard to cross over. The school lollypop man can't seem to get the kids safely across the road at the moment as there is no access up to Slatt's carpark. Its a safety issue if an ambulance or fire engine needed to get to any of the properties, they have barricaded off so much of the path. The traffic management is a joke and today I saw someone come up castle street against cars and then turned right onto Moyderwell!! The businesses in the street are not happy and can't get answers from anyone. Its just a disaster.

edited to update:
They have now opened back up access from Boherbee into Slatt's carpark. This morning there was no access, and no signs to say it was blocked and no way through which was forcing cars to reverse back up into the carpark when they realised!

Edited again to say they downed tools at 3pm for the weekend! There is thankfully access to Slatts lane/carpark though.

I saw traffic forcing its way down boherbee against the one way system today a little after 3pm...if that keeps up it's going to lead to some nasty accidents

Yep, it’s happening all day. People paying no attention or just chancing their arm. Really bad traffic management by the council on this one.
