It will have to be taken down very carefully to avoid structurally undermining the adjacent buildings. I can only assume a structural assessment of the rear wall has raised no issues and that's why the pub to the rear of the building is still open. Although having said that, I'd be rather reluctant to step inside there myself at the moment!

The amount of roads that are dug up a few times a year for different jobs is ridiculous. The Dale road between Abbeydorney and Ballyduff is closed for 3 months for inspection. The diversion route at Killahan is a worse death trap as it cannot cope with the increased traffic. The other diversion route to Lixnaw now has new roadworks which beggars belief on a diversion route. All this combined with huge money spent on weed killer with no records kept, massive machinery maintenance bills that would cover the cost of purchasing new machinery. In my village there are two council houses vacant, one over 10 years and the other nearly 2 years. There is massive SEAI regeneration work all over the country upgrading council estates with insulation, new air to water heating systems, Solar PV, ventilation, stoves etc. Cork,Limerick,Tipperary,Waterford etc are doing a few hundred houses per year the last few years, Kerry county council- Nothing! SEAI are granting the money for most of it so they have no excuse, they just couldn’t be bothered. They are a Shambles!

I think Tralee is a great spot and love to visit there, we bring the kids to the Aqua Dome every summer, call to the museum which is an amazing set up for such a small building and the public play park nearby is another brilliant facility. We have often stayed there and enjoyed the pubs, restaurants and beautiful hotels, as well as B and B's and gotten great service and value in all of them. Likewise the shopping centers outside of the town center itself offer a great service and are perfect for anyone not familiar with the town and worried about parking. We've met the nicest of people in Tralee and have good friends there. If I was an investor and thinking about taking a chance with a business in Tralee this thread would put me right off to be honest. There seems to be an awful amount of doom and gloom, negativity and complaints posted here which isn't fair to the town. Tralee is a great spot and people should be more positive. Rant over, feel better now.
