Long shot but has anyone an unlocked 4G modem or a Three 4G modem they would be interested in parting with.

What's with all the bonfires today?

The gist of it is, to bless their livestock enroute to summer grazing grounds, the Celts would walk cattle etc past a bonfire.

Lads, anyone else think Lana in Castletroy is completely sub par compared to the O'Connell Street branch?

Soggy peppered chicken, overcooked chicken in curry, and a big lump of unmixed wasabi at the bottom of my tub are some of the stuff I've experienced from Castletroy. Never had an issue with O'Connell Street

I haven’t been to the O’Connell street restaurant but the Raheen branch is way nicer than Castletroy one. The Castletroy branch is much closer to me but if I want a takeaway I go to the Raheen one.

How do you actually get on to that section? Where does it start from the Mill Road?

As Source said. From the fairy garden if you look across the road you'll see the laneway that gives access to the boat huts/houses along the river. Go down the laneway, it seems like a dead end but there is a narrow path at the end. A tiny narrow bridge over the stream and then a narrow access path that leads to the dirt path that will bring you all around the river toward Grove Island. I don't know if it's an overhang from childhood but that first part of the pathway feels like something out of a fairytale/Enid Blython adventure. But it's good walk if you are up for climbing through the broken trees and personally, I prefer a loop walk to going to far and then turning back. It's a shame that it hasn't been made just a little bit more accessible for walkers and cyclists (there is no way to get through it on a bike now) and that the benches aren't restored.

Go left at the bottom of the Mill Road.

Why has the river side walk from the Mill Rd to Grove Island fallen into such disrepair? I walked it last night and it's such a nice walk. Especially as it completes a great loop that goes UL-Rhebogue-Shannon Fields-the top of Mill Rd, this section of the river goes to Grove Island where you can get on the canal back to Rhebogue-UL. But impossible for anyone with any sort of mobility issues, especially as in several fallen places trees completely block the "path." I know some of those would have fallen on Friday night but not all have. It's really sad to see all the old public benches along the path that have just rusted to uselessness.

If you look at property to rent on Daft you will notice the majority of landlords are employing agents to handle the letting process for them rather than doing so themselves. This is a major change I have noticed -in Limerick at any rate - over the past two years and could be a contributory factor in the overall increase in rents as estate agents would naturally advise the property owner to seek the highest permissable rate. You will notice quite a disparity in amounts being asked for similar properties let through an agency compared to those let directly by the landlord.

A rent of 1400 per month should see a property selling for over 200k yet bar the strand apartments, this isn't happening, either house and apartment sale prices are going much higher or rents are insanely out of whack
