I think he was the Bossman of the site above therefore a large funeral is certainly warranted. I remember him around I knew him to see him and I could be wrong on this but I personally never saw him put a foot wrong. Jolly friendly chap RIP.

He didn't live on the site, he was from over the Old Bridge.

Very friendly alright and generally a fairly nice guy.

Same can't be said about his kids or more particularly his extended relatives

The Junction does a roaring trade and is open Sundays afaik(although do check first).
I've only been there for their breakfast bap (yum).

Mrs CML saw the funeral coming through town. Two black horses (magnificently groomed) pulling a hearse.She did say it looked like a hearse she'd seen on tv for a gangland funeral in Dublin but I couldn't possibly comment.

Quimby's Irishtown, comes to mind - not a pub

OK I'm remembering him from well before the Old Bridge houses were built. I also remember a time when the worst stuff the Clonmel Travellers would be in court for were mainly driving offences.

Second The Junction. Amazing food.
May have to queue for a table though.

Book market was open today.

Town's top gangsta jailed for 12 years over €50, what a criminal genius.

That scummer got 10 years back in 2010 for manslaughter. Only in Ireland he'd be let out early to try again.

Great to see so many using the Blueway today. It’s a credit to all involved.

That was Suil Eile - they've arranged walks along The East Munster Way - today was the 1st stage - great organisation - really enjoyed it - looking forward to the next one. The Blueway is a huge local amenity - we should all be out enjoying it.

I doubt that it had anything to do with Suil Eile at the time I was there! Plenty families and couples walking both ways from Clonmel. The Suil Eile walk was further down from Carrick to Kilsheelan.

the blueway is a great amenity but is too small for bicycle and walkers.
its impossible to enjoy a walk with the bicycles, I have stopped using it as it dangerous for children.
I don't blame the bicycles - I blame the council for building a narrow path and then encouraging bicycles and walkers.

It wasnt me123

It was further down Maryanne. Its not too small if everyone makes space for everyone else. Today we stuck to the right hand side of the path as we walked up, en mass. So bikes overtook us on the left as did walkers and bikes coming towards us. If we saw a bike we shouted out and let the people in front/behind know so they could move to make room.

It worked a treat and there was 150 of us - just needs patience from all the users

but you will notice something when you use the blueway regularly - no young children. people with young kids don't use it. #

Once cyclists take their time and have a bell I don't see any issues (I'm a cyclist and have used it a few times).

If I had small kids I'd be a little weary bringing them along the path because of the river - I'd certainly be holding their hand all the way. Maybe that's just me and others wouldn't see an issue.

I run on the blueway and find it great, every cyclist I've ever met on it has been respectful and cycled in single file where there was more than one of them. I don't like bringing my kids up there much because they love looking over the edge and I'm a nervous wreck thinking they might fall in.

There were two young families on it when I was. One family had a dog too.

Loads of kids, dogs and bikes on it yesterday. If we all slow down and be more patient, there is room for everyone IMHO

Exactly. I was glad to hear cyclists using bells.

mickdoocey

if your running or walking or cycling and minding yourself there is no issue.
you cannot bring young children on it due to its size
it is too small to accommodate the amount of people who use it
- i have no real issue with this as i consider the blue way in essence an urban path.
I personally am not going to walk the blueway and have to supervise my children or hold their hand, you cant enjoy it and they don't enjoy it.
But , I just go other places where they can run wild.

As a parent of a few children, the fact that it's pretty much an adults only zone adds to it's appeal for me

Sometimes I wish they did child, teenager free shopping hours, evenings in shopping centers!

Not much the council can do about widening it if landowenrs won't sell them the land to do it.

Cant say I know now any but anyone I've known to get cracked screens repaired in any of those sort of shops have nothing but issues with them afterwards .

All in all

I got a replacement screen in a place at bottom of Cashel Road beside Lyons, worked fine.
