The rumours I heard here and elsewhere was Elverys sports but I've seen nothing official to confirm that.
Kerry Petroleum in clash have apparently bought out Atlantic Oils in Ardfert
Who owns KP?
used to be the Blennehassett family but I googled it since and it’s a part of a bigger company now called east cork oil
I don’t think the pale moon will be rising for much longer. 🤣
Brewery Road is sealed off by the gardai this morning. Looks like something serious happened overnight .
There was a pedestrian knocked over last night. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-40915340.html
I noticed the new coffee shop that's due to open in Boherbee is going to be called 'The Boherbean'! They are taking a long time to get open though. Very slow progress. Hope they do ok up there, as not sure its the busiest spot for a coffee shop...
Has anyone been into The Nu place in Bridge Street? I know Mark Lean is the owner of it. Seems to be busy enough whenever I've passed by. Nice to see the seating outside and that building occupied again.
Where abouts in Boherbee is that?
near slieve mish bar
In where the florist used to be, next to Slieve Mish pub.
I see that Shaws is trying out opening on Sundays, and the centre might wake up a bit if some others get on the bandwagon.
A Desmond Hurley from Midleton is the head man for East Cork Oil, and the company seems to own a lot of local oil suppliers, there are 26 on this list:

Wouldn’t the square or mall have been better. What’s the idea of dragging everyone down to the end of denny st away from town centre and atmosphere?
Looks like we are going to have a festival after all.A marquee in Abbey Street carpark. Parades also in the plan and stalls.
Was something announced?
Saw this on Radio Kerry's fb page, but nothing mentioned about any music or entertainment of any interest yet!

Great to see the skateboarding park open in the sports complex, they have been talking about this since I was a teen, so fantastic to see it finally happen. More facilities like this for the town in the future hopefully.
WOW Worth your while to go watch those kids 10/11 doing their moves and stunts
Amazing. I could not contort this old body like that
It's absolutely brilliant to see but it's an indictment on the council that they had to fight so hard and so long to get it built.
Party in Tralee tonight:
That made me laugh as they arent exactly picturesque either but like its not like the customer will care or see it 😅
Edit: sorry didnt quote the comment, it was in response to the Hogans or Gleasures comment above
Anything interesting on in Tralee or surrounding area tonight? :)
I noticed a big change since I was last in Tralee town centre on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago. When I was last there, the Brandon car park was free, and so was the one across from Guiney's.
Now of course, with the new meters installed, and new signs, there's no mention of the days of the week in either location, which leads me to assume that there's no longer free parking on a Sunday.
I couldn't see any evidence that anyone had actually paid for a ticket.
What's the "shtory"?
Well the question is are traffic wardens working on bank holiday Sunday, seriously doubt it!
The new meters are programmed as to exactly when charges apply. If you put money into one on a Sunday, it'd print you out a ticket valid from 8am Monday.
Although not sure if they can handle the concept of public holidays...
