I thought I heard they were in talks with mtu in Dromtacker
That's a bit of a surprise, seeing as the Rose Hotel has the grounds beside it to put the dome up. As was asked, where will the dome go? it won't make sense to have them so far apart. Meadowlands doesn't seem an obvious choice for this partnership. Although I do know that the escorts usually stayed there.
Just spotted that. Where will the Dome go?
The home of the Rose of Tralee is been moved to the Meadowlands Hotel from the rose Hotel this year.
Very sad to hear that Bruce Kelliher passed away. If anyone was a fan of basketball in the 90's when Tralee Tigers used to play, he was one of their star players and he was also big into skateboarding. His brother has the surf shop in the Abbey carpark. He was Only in his late 40's, and passed away suddenly from what I heard. Awful news, he was a lovely guy. RIP Bruce. :(
Possibly, its a bit confusing as it is!
What little sympathy I had for the pubs evaporated very quickly when they reopened last year. After spending months crying about house parties, the (alleged) behavior of some of the pubs was nothing short of disgraceful.
My cynicism tells me that it wasn't the Government's concern for our health that made them introduce minimum pricing, but the constant moaning and lobbying by the VFI, because the last thing that they ever wanted was any competition for their members. It shouldn't have any effect on pub prices, unless of course they think they can get away with increasing prices because the competition's been neutralised.
I though minimum pricing was only applicable to supermarkets and off licenses? The VFI were pushing hard for it last year.
It was a fiver to get into banna 30 years ago and it was kip. Publicans are greedy any way ,always have been but he is the only one open late , he could charge 15 euro and he would still get people in
I dont know what the big deal is about bars overcharging ,they are at it since the year dot .I can remember paying 4/5 old pounds to get into a disco 30 years ago and been overcharged for cats piss or what ever they call it now
But its not a new thing, late bars always charge in, as I said above! And I didn't go out in temple bar in Dublin! But as I said, there is a new minimum pricing law in since the 4th of January so that's probably the reason for the price increase...
No but a lot of bother to a lot of tralee people this morning
Is this the start of recovery so by ripping people off before going inside the door of a tralee pub and I quote a pub .This is Tralee ciarrai not Dublin temple bar.The drink was a draught cider well over charged.
Were you forced by the owners of Hennessy’s bar to enter the property and part with your cash?
All late bars charge in, they are like nightclubs now and have to pay for their bar exemptions. They may have started charging €10 after a certain time. Used to happen all the time when I lived in Dublin. I used to pay in to the Abbey when they were open late. What drinks were more expensive? The minimum pricing law may have had an affect on that and they probably have to charge more for spirits/wine etc.
Can I have a bit of feedback of the charging of people going into Hennessys bar on Saturday night. Some charged €5 and a lot of young people charged €10 .The price of drinks inside were €1.00 or 60c more than normal.
Ah well, thats that then!
Still though, if Gers can consistently put out good food, they will do okay.
The Burgershack are back open for breakfast!
Things have changed slightly re the main opposition though, they are no longer open for breakfast afaik, which maybe leaves an opening for Gers to gain a foothold, and who knows what might happen after that
The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Was in getting the car washed today and noticed activity there alright
Looks like 'Ger's Place' up in Monavalley at entrance to Shanakill is reopening according to their Facebook page.
Heard a rumour that a third party had bought Maguires and the adjoining Abbey Tavern, and were in turn making it into one building and leasing the entire to Ballyseedy, but I doubt if thats true.
I think its more likely that the recent owners of Maguires have bought the closed pub which was owned by members of the same family and may well make the one unit of it, but again I am only guessing.
Ya, probably will be a cafe and as you said a big blow to the Village Pantry who are trying to get going, for a long time it was said that anything that would create competition with Centra wouldn't be allowed to rent out Maguires and now there is a cafe going in there, maybe the owners didn't want anyone local to rent it out, in my eyes Maguires shop should have never closed.
There was some trouble a bit back with rights of way for people walking through Fenit island ,was this resolved .A bit mad to think folk could just walk through private back yards and land if there was no proper rights of way for walkers!!
Is there any point in visiting the island if no rights of way there
The shutter looks pretty out of place, can't imagine what it's needed for
I see that the fenit Island Court case is resolved.
Owners told to take down the fence
Strange one. That building is quite small inside for a restaurant if memory serves me right. Will it be more of a Cafe rather than a restaurant? If a Cafe it’s an awful kick in the face to The Pantry cafe that opened around the corner last year.
It is the old Spar. The full application can be seen here, the design statement starts at page 40.
