    Where do people go for walks?

    You're looking for a park or a beach, with a lot of surrounding houses within a 5km radius. Otherwise, you're pi55ing in the wind.

    may want to rethink that idea

    it's limerick, but where one council goes, the rest tend to follow

    There used to be a van at the Dairygold Store in Mallow but it didn't last long. You'd need somewhere with good footfall / traffic.

    I see Coffee Crush got the jump on you around Cork.

    There was one in Listowel most weekends up until last year but the Town Council did not approve:

    I can imagine there would be lots of red tape if someone took a dislike or felt competitive.

    I think the reason the council gets involved is because they rely for a large part of their income on commercial rates and traders operating out of bricks and mortar stores probably complain about popup and mobile traders.

    In or around the town park in kanturk wouldn’t be a bad spot. Regional park in ballincolllig has a coffee trailer in the car park, looks busy any time I pass

    Mallow racecourse is popular for walking. Alternatively, a mart?
