This is interesting. Do you know who is hosting the meeting?

I can't find seem to find out; all I know is that two of the speakers are from County Councils (Mayo and Tipperary, the former an architect) and a member from Retail Excellence Ireland.

I'd prefer to see a more prominent role given to someone trading in the town, but hopefully there will be a high turnout in the room.

The town needs a real, cohesive and clear plan. No more fluff about regeneration and technology -- we need clarity, efficiency, specifics for the current trading year.

Did you give it socks ATNM??

I see lots of new developments being bandied about, new chemist down the lane beside the Hi-B, and another one seemingly going in opposite Mulrooneys. There's also talk of a coffee shop going in to the empty units at Lidl, and development of the structure in the retail park for same. I'm also hearing a rumbling that the old Dunnes might finally be getting developed into something.

Yes, report in Guardian this week about those.

shalclon · 06-07-2019 5:27pm

Heard that LIDL trying to get the new Home savers closed down??!! Apparently they had to remove food from the aisles but LIDL still not happy? Saw petition on local Facebook page to boycott LIDL because of it.

No way, I gave up buying the Guardian, there's only so many articles one can read about the latest drink driving/alcohol theft/drug offences before it becomes non news. Also, every second pat is trying to sell me a new car

Good news for the town this morning on the job front

secondrowgal · 09-08-2019 11:32am

Does anyone install dashcams in Nenagh? I've a 191 car and because it's not the car's own dashcam the main dealer won't install.

Give Top Part on the Dublin Road a call - (067) 34390.

They supply car accessories and while they may not do installations they surely know someone who does.

for boy or girl?
Borrisokane Borrisoleigh also options. Plenty from nenagh close to town attend each as well

Brothers is much better than when I was there which is a long while ago.
What preference would you have?

Even though i have no dog in the fight, i'd hold the Vocational higher than the Brothers. Given the choice though i'd elect to send to Borrisokane.

Does anyone know what happened in Bank of Ireland today?

Depends on what you're after. Andy Flynns is good for pub lunch, as is the Half Door. If it's something outside that, like salads, soups, wraps etc, Cinnamon Alley or The Pantry are good too.

ibFoxer · 19-11-2019 7:39pm

Vodafone broadband acting up for anyone else this evening?

irelandjoe · 18-12-2019 2:12pm

A Friend of mine and his 15 well respected, non alcoholic friends who are all not from Nenagh are doing 12 Pubs of Nenagh in a few weeks and are looking for best route and best pubs to hit in town, and also the pubs to avoid etc.

My initial thoughts are the route would be

The Dapp Inn
Rohan's Pub
Andy's
The Well
The Kenyon Bar
the Talbot
Louie's Pub (Mac Mathuna)
Lily's Bar ???
Hi B
Rockys
Half Door
Una Powells

Boscoirl · 18-12-2019 2:39pm

Better off to start up in Summerhill. They won’t get into Una’s late doing a 12 pubs

sligojoek · 18-12-2019 10:31pm

Summerhill could be a hard climb after 10 pints.

Boscoirl · 18-12-2019 11:15pm

If I was doing a 12 pubs(which I wouldn’t, I’d just go to 1pub and have 12pints. But that’s just me) I would go

Una’s
Figgertys
The 44
Rocky’s
The Well
Rohan’s
Philly’s
The Silvermine
The Quill(just to see Flash’s face when 15 people come in at once

)
Lily’s
Kenyon
Talbot

Morning all, whats happening in town now. What is open or closed. All updates welcome, lets keep up to date.

The Covid 19 testing centre is at The Derg Centre, drive through. Appointments every 15 minutes, referral by GP only.

Supermarkets open.
Tesco have a queueing policy, what about the others

Pharmacies open, with barriers and queues in place.

Pubs, closed.

Takeaways, who is open, who is closed. Have you got a delivery or pick up
Restaurants and cafes, whats the story with them.

What are other shops and businesses doing.

Let us know, thanks and stay safe

secondrowgal · 23-03-2020 2:07pm

As far as I know the following are still open:

Ryan's Fruit & Veg
Denis' Meats
Hackett's Butchers

Shop local folks! These small shops coming out of this intact really depends on you and your custom.

seanl77 · 23-03-2020 4:55pm

Supermacs still open and delivering, don't think there is too many other takeaways going.
O sullivans butchers is still open, all of the petrol stations. Bank of Ireland in nenagh is not of of the branches closing temporarily thankfully. In terms of supermarkets, can only talk about tesco as I haven't been in the others recently.
They are open for elderly and carers 8 to 9am Mon, wed and Friday mornings. Queuing system and plastic screens at tills. Sanitiser at entrance, and trollies are wiped down. Mulrooneys doing a great job as well, sanitiser, queuing system and pumps clean and stocked with gloves.

History Queen · 23-03-2020 5:05pm

Easons still open. Sanitizer just inside the door.

Was in Aldi Saturday (won't make that mistake again) it was crazy busy. Staff very good though, shelves fairly well stocked but no toilet paperor handwash (except the fancy no.4 one). Wipes and spray for cleaning tolley(but inside second door so you would have already touched your trolley at that stage, would make more sense to have in lobbey area next to trollies) and markings on floor for social distancing queuing at till.

History Queen · 23-03-2020 5:06pm

Pepes also open for takeaway. Really good system where you ring, order and pay, then pull up outside and they'll bring food to car. Was very impressed.

lisasimpson · 25-03-2020 7:16pm

Nenagh Guardian will post a copy of the paper out to you for the next few weeks. If you have any older family members on their own and who are not leaving their homes its a good idea. Older people still love the copy of the local paper and its a way to keep their minds active by having something to read. This social distancing cant be good for those at risk of dementia etc

lisasimpson · 24-06-2020 9:51pm

A bit of life going into the Lisbunny industrial estate with the announcement of 150 jobs by lunch box. A number of companies in North Tipp to get a spin off boast from this such as stapletons in roscrea and goliath packing in nenagh.

Its awfully depressing driving down to the NCT centre in there another operating company in there might help take the glum look off the place

14-07-2020 1:29am

This thread is as sleepy as, well, Nenagh these days.

Heading down home in a few days, will stop nearby into Nenagh. How is local business? Is everything back?

Everything open now (except pubs) as far as I can see. Was in the swimming pool yesterday and today - god, it's great to be back in the pool!

The town is busy everyday. The shops seem to be buzzing. It's good to see folk out and about. There's a reasonable level of mask wearing too, which is good to see.

All the cafes are back open so you can indulge in your favourite beverage + cake if you'd like

lisasimpson · 15-07-2020 2:26pm

Theres a bit of a buzz around the last few weekends. People gald to be out and about. Anywhere serving food are busy enough. If your planning on getting dinner out..phone ahead to book a table. Think the hotel reopened this week too

Red Hare · 24-07-2020 6:53pm

I had a lovely meal in “the thatched” with my family last week.the food and staff was first class.
i have been thinking that that Spout road up to the junction with summer hill is looking like it needs love or affection from the town, considering it is the first view most visitors receive and considering that the residents there have persistently gone above the call for the town in making that view deserving of admiration over the years!

lisasimpson · 25-10-2020 6:41pm

Could someone recommend a doctor in Nenagh preferably female. I moved to the town a couple of years ago but never signed up to on

Not a woman but Dr Pat Harold is excellent, there might be a female Doctor at the surgery

If you don't find something in Nenagh, you could check out PMC.ie, GP, Dr Beatrice Neufeldt. Not the cheapest, though.

Red Hare · 08-11-2020 8:34pm

I always understood that Banba Square was called after the ancient Irish godess- and that is why Jamsey got knocked down and replaced with a mixture of christianity and republicanism in front of the court house.
Am I right or wrong in my thinking?

Correct, she was a goddess in Tuatha Dé Danann.

Red Hare · 09-11-2020 9:58pm

Oh thanks Pogue Eile - Lets release the Goddess - as soon as corona permits!!

I remember all those rose petals we threw years ago in front of Banba making our procession in white dresses at Corpus Christi. God's blood'n little girls petals -
the IRA - the court - the cinema - the bank and the coal yard - all together in Banba Square - where would you get it - but Banba Quare n Square in Naynah!:cool:

techguy · 07-12-2020 11:24pm

How are we doing lads!?

I've just located back to Nenagh for the next 6-8 months due to Covid.

Place was dead when I arrived a few weeks ago, but seems to have picked up now, post lockdown.

Few vacant shops around, but it seems the surviving businesses are keeping the good side out, fair play to them. Many provincial towns can look quite boring and depressing, but I think Nenagh ain't bad really.

techguy · 07-12-2020 11:27pm

I wonder does anybody know of a place where I might be able to store a car for the winter months (under cover). Bonus points for electric so I can keep the car on trickle charge.

Willing to pay obviously.

lisasimpson · 14-02-2021 9:19pm

Anyone recommend a good landscape/gardening company in the nenagh area for a small garden
