    Saw something on wlr web page or twitter of some councillor, can't remember exactly.
    Checked..Eddie mulligans twitter page is where I saw it. Pretty sure I saw it on wlr somewhere too, maybe I heard it on wlr.

    Not sure this is really where credit is due but the council clearly have decided to make this summer the season of road re-surfacing. Lombard street currently under way, with plenty of road markings in the Upper Ballytruckle, Pearce Park area finally (yes I have a local interest in these).

    Oh yes Johns Street also on the list - that has actual craters.

    Thanks be to Jaysus.

    Lombard St was like the surface of the moon.

    Shane from Full of Beans- 10 out of 10, very nice guy and gave me some excellent tips for buying vitamins in the shop there recently. A must-stop for anyone who wants to eat healthier and the staff are top notch. Recommended!

    Why did they pick on him in particular?

    Edit - covered in local election discussion.

    Credit must go to the lads in Halfords, well one of them in particular, who looked after me at the weekend.

    The battery in my mother's keyless entry car key went...and her spare too...on a Sunday! She tried opening the car with a key inside the fob and set the alarms off.

    We couldn't figure out how to get in to where the battery was - stress levels were rising. A quick spin up to Halfords where one young one on the counter was seemingly hungover and bitching to one of her colleagues about being in work.

    It turns out her colleague was brilliant. He didn't know how to get into the battery either, but went online and figured it out and did it for me.

    Five mins later I was down the road with a functioning car key and an alarm switched off. Great to encounter a lad willing to show a bit of initiative.

    You would have saved yourself a trip if you googled it yourself.

    Nice area in Shaws now dedicated to Ardkeen Superstores - showcasing the best of Irish produce with plenty of emphasis on the south east. Great to see.

    Waterford soccer circles should be proud of themselves massive praise for 2 Waterford born players who impressed for Ireland under 21s lately

    Lee O Connor who recently joined Celtic and Jason Molumby who is getting massive praise

    Bright futures for these 2 lads

    Much credit to the Waterford Hurlers. You gave it your best, just met a better team on the day. You gave us a lift in a crappy year and showed the future is bright. You all did us proud.

    The toilets in the grotto in Mellary were absolutely spotless (I was going to say immaculate but people might think I'm taking the pss.)
    Whoever is looking after them. Thank you.

    Love this. Passed there on Friday and was wondering what the story was. Great thinking from all involved.
