People are not necessarily eating for the whole 105 minutes. You can have your food consumed and cleared from table in 15 minutes and then continue with your drinks for the remainder of your allotted time. No one is breaking the guidelines doing that.

Fair enough but it was a lot of people jammed into a very, very small space.

I walked passed Baily’s Corner last night and the new area at the front window was absolutely jammers. I didn’t see any Pizza either on the table. It must be a right kick in the teeth for all compliant bars that cannot open.

I am told that the Gardai are wandering into a certain bar in the Square on at least a couple of times a day and that it is now closing after 9pm because of course there is no off site food to bring in.

Speaking of eating out, just tried Sforno on Edward Street tonight - all our meals were excellent and reasonably priced, the owners and staff were friendly, and starting to fill up as we were leaving, so they're off to a good start at least.

That's great to hear.

Was just discussing that yesterday! There's been some rumours that the old barracks would make a good site for the new courthouse and we were joking that we'd be getting some lovely coffee houses in our neck of the woods to keep the legal eagles caffainated and sharp.

The Denny site is the only gig in town when it comes to the location of new courthouse. Expect that to be officially signed off on shortly.

Did anyone pass by Birds Bazaar this evening? Were there crowds?

Passed around 4, traffic was busy because of rubber necking but there didn't seem to be much of a crowd then.
5 or 6 people on the more popular rides

Certainly no shortage of cafés, between the Daily Grind, the Roast House, and too many to mention on Ashe Street, and all offering high-quality coffee - indeed the future of the Courthouse is probably the biggest threat to many of them.

Are they I thought they had closed down the last time I was in Tralee town.

Just a thought.........People (customers) must realise that if the want shops, they must use them, make an effort not just to come and see what a size is like, take a photo and then search Amazon.

Why is there a Q for Starbucks when you have local Coffee Shops, the choice is yours or you will end up like many "county towns"

Lack of customers leads to a lack of Shops, it's a downward cycle and if it starts it usually doesn't stop !!

These Retailers pay Rates to keep your town services going, they employ staff contributing to the economy, they give the donations and spot prizes, the list is quite long......

Have a look at Tralee from a Retailers point of view and be honest with yourself, would you open a non food business in Tralee ??

Looks to me that JYSK are planning to open in Manor now, pending receipt of planning permission for the mezzanine in the vacant unit.

Also talk of another chain taking over some Debenhams stores. Should that be M&S, then I would expect Tralee to be one of the stores to reopen (along with Mahon Point & Waterford).

Decathlon are viewing the old Debenhams in Mahon Point and imho I cant see M&S going in there
Covid has changed the whole concept of Retailing and the way we shop, it dows not suit the Dept.Store Format

Would love to see stores opening in town centre, especially the dunnes unit but never made sense to me why jysk would open there.
Many is perfect for them selling furniture etc

Would be great if the Debenhams staff could find re-employment with Marks

I don't know. They were meant to be leaving where they are as the lease was due to expire and I heard they wouldn't be renewing it. I think at one point they were looking to move up to Manor, but that seems to have fallen through. I assume they will have to keep looking now.

They hadn't closed down, just closed for Covid-19. They were due to move premises, but that's put on hold for now. They haven't gone out of business.

Does anyone know if you can buy hose pipe cut to measure in Tralee anywhere? I wouldn't need a full length one, just 1m/1.5m would do me for hooking up to a dehumidifier for constant drainage. Jesus it's heavy weather lately!

Hello guys, I am moving back to Tralee and into a new apartment next week. The apartment I'm renting does not have parking. Do you guys know if the Tralee county council do parking permits I can buy for the year or something or is there anywhere to park for the year?

They do permits. You need a copy of your lease/rental agreement and I think drivers licence. I may have forgotten something but give them a buzz for exactly what you need and the cost.

Has any one tried the new Pizza Place - Mizzoni? I've not tried it or the other one on Castle St yet. I used to love the firewood cooked pizza place near the courthouse. A pity it closed down a few years ago.

We tried Mizzonis when it first opened, they put on very, very little sauce. It was like just eating cheese on bread. Haven't been back since, but other Mizzonis in other counties are great, so hopefully my experience was just teething problems.

Pizza King on Castle Street we had a very good experience in. Would recommend.

The grand hotel has a lot left to be desired also which is surprising for what is normally a very decent spot.

People are allowed to enter the bar not knowing if there are tables available or not. There is no one on the door monitoring numbers. This from what I’ve seen results in people walking in stopping and looking for a table realising there’s none and walking out again. Nightmare scenario if someone had Covid 19.

There is also no contact tracing details taken.

They are using the ballroom area at the back as a waiting area where people are being served drink with no food while waiting for a table to free up.

Personally witnessed a number of people using the back laneway to access the ballroom just for alcohol. I know a few of the heads that were were most definitely not waiting for a table to be served food.

It seems he’s attracting a few daily drinkers with no interest in food that would usually frequent other wet bars that are lowering the tone a bit.

I heard a similar story!
