On top of the taking credit for anything and everything that happens. I also wonder why they get as much coverage as they do. You rarely ever hear much in the media about other chambers such as Listowel, Castleisland etc

I remember reading this (from 2019)! In advanced talks and nothing has happened to date! Such tripe from them!

They come up with ideas and generally form a plan for Tralee They don't have money to actually do them They are basically doing something that Kerry County Council should be doing but never bothered. So the Council can either steal the ideas or it puts pressure on them to actually start doing their job. KCC has zero foresight or ideas. They have just done footpaths in the town 2019/2020 thinking this was great. They are the ones with the money although they spend over 40 per cent of it on wages. But if you ask to build a skate park in a town of 25,000 that has been talked about since I was a kid they have no money
cms88 wrote: » My issue with the Chamber is while yes they ''come up'' with the ideas, mot if not all those ideas are just copied from somewhere else and we see them in the media taking credit for them as if they were the ones who came up with them. A few years ago there was this big thing about the Amazon working from homes jobs. The Chamber made out they singlehandedly were the ones who ''brought'' the jobs to Kerry. But when very few people ever actually took the jobs becuase the wage, hours etc were poor it was as if it never happened. That's just one example of many.

You are going to have tens and hundreds of people in the like of the Square with glasses so there will be lots of broken glass around the place. The Square Bar was jointed outdoors when it opened in the first lockdown. The Guards are going to have a nightmare. And what about people living next to bars? They are going to get no peace and people pissing all over the joint.

Neighbor's unconcerned, he was present both times, the second time I point blank asked him if he was going to restrain the dog, he looked blank at me and said nothing. Might be he's not too competent, don't know his name. Can I go straight to the guards, or must I go through the dog warden first? Ask here though we're not in Tralee the dog warden for our Dingle area is.
