That old grey corner unit opposite Shaws that has been vacant for as long as I can remember seemed to be having work done on it/windows replaced etc when I was in town a couple of weeks ago. I wonder is a new business moving in? There's something charming or quirky about the building that I like!
I think that that was two units, or at least a house and a unit back before it was done up, some time in the early 00's. I have memories of a butchers there in the mid 90s
It has planning permission I believe to be knocked and for offices and they are selling it
Such a pity. Loads of character. Plenty of standard buildings being protected just for age. Think it ties into street very well
It does look well there but I guess, judging by the windows (or lack of) it's a dark little building. It probably needs to be torn down to be usable for a modern business.
The Rose of Tralee festival have put up a survey asking the public on their thoughts of the festival in its current format and what we would like!
Hopefully they will take on board what people think!

Anyone eaten in Kanoodle? Just wondering how it compares to Lana.
Haven't heard of it. Where is it?
T.
What a poor survey. Never did one where they misspelled "dissatisfied." Like they're going to do anything with the results.
Personally, they should cancel the whole thing. Antiquated sexist nonsense.
I personally don't get offended by the festival, its just a bit of fun! I was involved as a candidate for the Kerry Rose many years ago, so I love it! People need to relax a bit about it being sexist, its not! Just a traditional festival. Luckily we have more than just 1 tv channel to watch so no one is forced to have to see it ;)
Kanoodle is gone in with Mizzoni Pizza next to Argos. They both share the same premesis. I'd imagine it's the same lads running it that run Mizzoni's. It's the Horan Center Deli during the day.
I see the roadworks in Oakpark keep getting extended! They were due to finish on the 16th September, then the date changed to the 30th Sept, and now its the 8th October!
The traffic in town is crazy lately. The lights down by the train station seem to be acting up now and changing a bit too quickly. AS well as the ones in Edward street which are a nightmare. I reported them a few times that they change too quick, but nothing done. I wish they would remove those poles from side of road as its too tight there. No need for them anymore.
Removing the poles would immediately lead to people parking on both sides of Edward street again. It would do nothing for the traffic flow, but walking or even pushing a pram would turn back into the nightmare it was before the pandemic. If there was one good thing the virus did it was changing the priorities in regards of car traffic vs. pedestrians. There should be more of those poles if anything, not fewer.
As someone who both drives and pushes a buggy around town regularly I agree 100%
Totally see your point. I don't have a baby in a pram anymore, but it did bug me a lot to have to get around cars. They need to do something about Edward st though as its so tight there. There's a space outside the postoffice which is painted yellow that really causes issues when trying to get up. I don't see the need for it. There's a disabled space there too, but the yellow one is more an issue and if anyone parks there its hard to get around if traffic coming down other side.
The only enforcement around the town seems to be by the wardens checking tickets in the car park, theres no enforcement of illegally parked cars from what I've seen. Cars just throw the hazards on and fire the car up anywhere on the footpath between benners and AIB, in front of off license at super value or practically on top of the pedestrian crossing at North circular road. I've been onto the council four or five times in the last month and they never do anything. It is going to take someone getting seriously injured, or worse before they do anything
The ticket warden told us a while back that they automatically give tickets for cars parked up on the pavements, regardless of if there's a double yellow line etc, but I don't really see it happening enough. Castle St is crazy the amount of people parking up and its a narrow enough road/pavement. People are lazy, they want to park right outside the door to a place regardless of where it is!
I saw it mentioned on Facebook that Guiney's have been getting some of the ex-Debenhams stock and selling very cheap. Apparently its mainly cosmetics.
A private clamping company is the only way to sort this out. 2 council parking wardens cannot cover the whole town adequately on foot. Let the wardens cover car parks and let a private company in to do the rest.
Exactly this. Lazy sh*ts need the cost and inconvenience of having to wait around for hours to be declamped to put manners on them.
As for Edward St, the long-term plan and only solution is to make it one-way.
Lidl are only allowing parking for 1 hour now and clamp no bother! I see them sat in a van watching! They catch a fair few people in the day.
The guys in Dunnes NCR are now being strict on the parent and child parking spaces and giving 'tickets' if someone parks there with no child! I am actually glad about this as its so difficult to get a space when I have my little boy with me, especially when he was a baby! The amount of vans I see parked there, or guys on their own etc etc. Its very annoying!
I used to cut down the laneway off Edward st, onto Castle st but I've stopped doing that as there are far too many undesirables on that road, as well as a horse and cart blocking it a few times!
I see there's planning gone in for an arts/theatre space and cafe for the old school house on Strand Street. How great would it be to see a building like that coming back into use
Hi, Anyone know of any software testing jobs going in the Kerry/Cork area at the moment?
None that I know of at the moment but here would be worth keeping an eye on
and
I personally find this comment extremely racist and offensive.
That's great about the parent and baby spaces - Super Valu is unreal for people parking up in the 3 parent and baby spaces they have. It's free for all in those spaces, and so annoying when you have a little one to bring in, but thankfully she is in playschool now so less need for them.
How? and why did you report it? Explain what is 'racist' about it??
At least the cart isn't getting put before the horse 🤣
It in no way racist or offensive. Even if the poster lived on that street it’s still an accurate description. Maybe they will reply with an explanation.
I feel that this comment is derogatory and insulting. I believe I am fully entitled to report it and I believe I don't owe you any explanation. I cannot change your level of insight. I wish you well.
