Could anyone recommend a good RELIABLE tiler in Tralee?

I say reliable as lately some trades people seem to be getting really unreliable. They either don't turn up or when they do I can't get them to come back to me with a quote for the job! I badly need a tiler and the last guy that looked at a job for me didn't even bother to get back to me!

Just Saw this on Radio Kerry site. This is frightening that so many unprovoked attacks are happening in Tralee. Is it the same man/men carrying out the attacks I wonder? I've never heard of so many unprovoked attacks in such a short space of time.

"Gardai have described several unprovoked assaults in Tralee over the past week as very alarming.

They are appealing for anyone with any information to contact them.

Last Tuesday, September 8th at 1.15 in the afternoon a man who was stopped in his car at the traffic lights at Ivy Terrace, Tralee suffered serious facial injuries when an unknown man approached his car and punched in him the face through the open driver’s window.

The victim of the serious assault was treated in University Hospital Kerry for his injuries.

Just after half past nine on Thursday (September 10th) morning, a man was punched and kicked by two men in the Boherbee area; he suffered serious injuries.

Around 1.20pm on Friday (September 11th), a teenager who was walking down Abbeycourt was pushed up against a wall by a man who punched him in the face and stomach.

Finally, at 8.20 last night (September 13th), a man in a white van pulled up in the Killerisk area of the town and began punching a man walking on the street in an unprovoked attack.

Garda Owen Walsh says the number of assaults in Tralee in the past week is of concern:

Anyone with any information on the assaults can contact Tralee Garda Station on 0667102300."

What stood out to me in all of that was that they mostly happened in broad daylight, bar one which was in the evening, but still not late at night. It sounds to me like the same person/people doing this. Could it be an attempted mugging or something? Especially with the teacher! Very worrying.

Get a few more Pine Martins as they kill far more grey squirrels than red. The red being native have a natural awareness.

I don't think the grey ones made it over the Shannon yet, so they shouldn't be around here. I was genuinely happy to see the little furry guy this morning, it's a nice addition to the foxes and hedgehogs we see frequently. I'm not out in the sticks either, actually we are pretty close to the town centre. Nature is a great thing...

I just saw a red squirrel in our garden in Tralee, a first for me. Did I just miss them all the time or is this a new addition to our area? I've seen a few in Killarney, but never here. Did anyone in or around Tralee observe any squirrels before?

Leave out appropriate food and it will encourage them

Is the multi-storey carpark in Edward street now closed? I remember there being a for sale sign up at start of year, but it doesn't seem to have reopened since lockdown.

I just saw a notice on Pa Daly TD's facebook page regarding Irish Water. There will be some water outages on Wednesday, 9th Sept.

Irish Water advises that water main improvement works on Oakfield Square, Tralee may cause disruption to supply for homes and businesses on Wednesday 09 September from 09.30 to 13.00
07 September 2020:
Irish Water wishes to advise customers in Oakpark, Killeen, Clogherbrien, Ballyroe, Balloonagh, Kerins Park, Blennerville, Spa and surrounding areas in Tralee, that as part of water main improvement works being delivered, there will be disruption to water supply from 9.30 to 13.00 on Wednesday 09 September 2020.
During these essential planned works, homes and businesses in the above areas area may be impacted by reduced water pressure and water outages. Following these improvement works, water supply may take 2-3 hours to return as water refills the network.
These works are being undertaken to help facilitate the lifting of a Do Not Consume notice currently in place in the Oakfield Square area. Further assessment and testing of the affected supply at Oakfield Square will be undertaken before the removal of the Do Not Consume notice can be considered.

I just spotted on Irish Water's twitter feed that the works scheduled tomorrow (see above) are now from 3 - 6pm.

No, I just checked the eircode-website and they refer to the estate behind the subway/butcher's/off-licence/student-accom. opposite McElligot's as "Oakfield Square". Google Maps shows the same place as "Muing West" and the main building is called Oakfield Court. Strange, I heard the name for the first time today and I have been living in the area for many years.

That location is right. This was included in a planning permission in the past:

“The residents refer to this area as Oakfield Square so as to avoid confusion with the student accommodation known as Oakfield Court and which is located between the houses and the N69”

Hopefully water won’t be off for long in affected areas.

Dublin Coach are re-starting their services from 1am tonight on the Tralee-Dublin route. Its a full return to their complete schedule with it looks like half the seats blocked off. Fares are the same as before but they are not taking cash fares but will take contactless payments as well as the online bookings.

Starbucks drive through is one very busy spot since it’s opened. I don’t think I’ve passed yet and not seen a large q.

Stopped there today for the first time, but didn't sit in car queue, just walked in and was quicker!

I doubt Fine wines are too happy with the drive thru as you can't now turn right to park outside their shop from entrance. It makes you go into the drive thru...which you would be stuck in for ages. Customers have to park in main car park now. Not the worst thing in the world, but not ideal for a business.

He wanted the council to pay to relocate his business that has no planning permission to operate where it's currently located on land that doesn't belong to him.

Hmm, yeah...

I'm in 2 minds about this, part of me thinks that this is so close to completion there's a risk that it could get caught up in red tape for years to come so just go ahead with the compromise but on the other hand looking at the map for the reroute, it looks fecking daft, you would be tempted to just take the road and join the line at bawnboy bridge. Plus the fact that the business has no right to be there anyway. It would be very frustrating.

During the day? I’m not 100% sure, but definitely at night. However they are fully booked this weekend at night according to their social media page.

Fair play for the staff for sticking it out with their protest up in Manor. I assume staff from the other outlets in Ireland have been doing the same.

I haven't bought clothes in a real shop in town since before lockdown, it's just not worth the bother. Now I haven't bought much online either so that hasn't really replaced it. The hassle of returning online things is always irritating too but it's even more hassle now to have to return to a real shop when you can't try it on. I don't want to go browse in the first place and knowing I may need a second trip back doesn't encourage me either!

I really feel sorry for shops, it must be very hard to keep going with reduced footfall as I presume I'm not the only one not browsing anymore.

I don't mind going into clothes shops for a browse, but its not being able to try things on that is putting me off buying much. I have to really want it to buy it and try on at home. I am buying a lot less!! Penney's must have so many returns at the moment!

I needed a few different rig outs for different reasons. Ended up paying 700 euros for them just to bring them home to bring them back a few hours later and only eventually keeping 100 euros worth of the stuff. Pure waste of time and effort

A myriad of reasons. Best read up on it on cyclist.ie if you're interested in knowing more.

I skimmed through it, it’s not something I would be interested in personally so didn’t give it much time. Other than setting a precedent for other projects. I don’t see the issue personally.

It’s a happy compromise to ensure the project isn’t held up in red tape.

Cyclist lobby groups almost crippled the Dingle road upgrades and held it up for a number of months with issues about cycleways.

It would be a shame to see something similar in this instance for the sake of 700m.

Other than cyclists have any other groups put forward objections? ie walkers runners etc who would also be using the greenway!?

Very disappointing to hear but I guess covid has had a massive impact on the fashion trade. A lot of people still won't go into shops unless they're looking for something specific they need.
