"More than 200 jobs are to go at a manufacturing plant in Tralee, Co Kerry.
Workers at BorgWarner are being briefed by management at meetings this afternoon that manufacturing will cease there by the end of the year and the plant will be shut down by the end of March next year."

Very sorry to hear this news, a lot of families affected by a business like that closing it's doors.

Awful news. Very hard for the staff. And awful to see a business close after 30 years in Tralee.

I need to find a Peace Commissioner or Notary Public in Tralee to witness the signing of a Garda vetting form within next 5 working days. Can someone point me in the right direction? I assume they charge for this service?

I'd say if you ring the Garda station they'll be able to tell you who your nearest Peace Commissioner is, as far as I know they don't charge.

Try Jim Finucane. He has an auctioneers office in Edward Street. Also, I think someone in Dan Fitzgerald’s shop is a Peace Commissioner or a Commissioner of Oaths. I think a Commissioner will charge a few euro.

I was driving down Basin View a few days ago and was wondering what the Brandon Court building has been used for the last few years? Do the Brandon still own it? Has it been vacant all this time? I noticed scaffolding up the front of it so maybe some work being done. Its ideal to be used for homelessness.

Joe Hoare up in Connolly Park is one. Doesn't charge to the best of my knowledge. Signs warrants for the Guards but he told me that they rarely bother him anymore because he asks too many questions before signing a warrant. PC's sign warrants in the place of a District Court Judge if one is not readily available for the likes of search or arrest warrants.

The Guards should be able to give you a list of local PC's.

Not much social distancing to be seen inside Quinlans seafood on the mall when passing this afternoon. Tables and customers right up on top of each other.

I didn't think there were any tables & chairs inside Quinlans at the moment? There didn't seem to be any yesterday when I passed by.

Peace commissioners cannot charge a fee by law.

A commissioner of oaths or Notary public have additional powers are usually solicitors and charge. There are standard fees set by the law society for this afaik.

You could be right, I thought I saw a centre table along with their window stool seating. Either way it was jammers.

Thanks all re: peace commissioners. Tbh, I was fairly clueless as to what they did before today.

Generally your nominated to be one and would be appointed by the Minister for Justice following Garda Vetting and possibly an interview with local superintendent etc.

It’s an honorary position.

I got sorted for a Peace Commissioner today in Dan Fitzgeralds on the Mall. Might be helpful to others in future.

Its been years since I was up there, but I know its up Ballyard/Clahane and into the Slieve Mish Mountain. But actual directions I can't remember!

Put it into Google maps and it should help.

Drive past the entrance to the aquadome towards the rugby club, pass the entrance to the rugby club. Keep going to the T junction. Turn left and immediately turn right. You'll see a brown signpost for it about 3 miles along the road.
Very very narrow road so be extremely careful.

Thanks! I grew up in Ballyard and I couldn't even remember how to get there despite being up there many times! I actually haven't been up that way in so long, I must go up there sometime. I Always loved cycling up there as kids. We used to go to a lovely little area where there was a stream and have picnics! Good times

Best way I've found it is to find the lane that heads towards the aerials that overlook Tralee. It's about a quarter of the way up.

Is it up "Short Mountain" way or am I in the wrong area?

I don't think there is parking, unless you park up on side of road or go up to the viewing point carpark and walk back down.

What's the story with this new city of 50000 Hong Kong people that they are thinking of building in Kerry? Any truth to it? Seems a bit farfetched to me.

The viewing point at the top of the Short mountain road. It’s a good walk back down to Scotias Grave though. You might get a spot on the side of the road past the entrance but can’t picture any myself. I was up there a few weeks ago in Runners. It’s fine

I've parked on the road just up from the entrance to Scotias grave. It's tight but there is room.

Non existent, there are some wider spots on the road but not sure there would be enough room for emergency services if a car was pulled in there, I would say drive up past it, seem to remember a wider section where you may be able to park on the grass off the road.
Viewing point at the top would be a good hike, probably too far
