Now I'm gone down a rabbit hole of RTE Archives footage of Waterford!
Damien Tiernan of Deise Today on WLR FM's looking for information from ex-students/staff & others on Mr. Tom Meehan please?
Emails in confidence to Damien@WLRFM.com & thanks.
Great to see. Did the stretch from Tramore Road to Cork Road take place soon after?
It's amazing to see all those clear fields when they're circling that roundabout.
worth a watch
Lads there is a post up on face book (West Waterford animal emergency page) about a cat stuck in a tree in the People's Park. They're looking for help if anyone assist please.
They've rang the fire brigade but they won't come out.
Won't let me link here. Owner is distraught.
Boils my blood seeing stuff like this happen
Don't know what's happening here the last while
Not sure if been posted here before but have many people started using the Waterford E-Parking app since it launched? I find it dead handy, stick an hour on it when you first park up then if you need to top it up you can do it on your phone from wherever you are. Saves having to rush back to the car. Hard to beat the €1 per hour rate in Bolton Street/Waterside/Millers Marsh too.
Spoke to a parking warden though and they are finding it awkward having to search the reg of every car that doesn't have a physical pay & display ticket to make sure they haven't paid via the app.
dont use it, but it looks very handy, i dont use my phone much, so i probably wont install it
Yep, I've used it ever since it came in. Very handy as I don't carry that much coins around anymore.
I find it difficult to have any sympathy for traffic wardens though 😀. But I thought there would be an easy way for them to track them.
We can't have nice things in Waterford
Don't worry the judges will be easy on the people who done this
I doubt they will even catch who did it.
I often wonder what kind of people have no appreciation for the time and effort others invest into things for others.
What drives this behaviour?
lots of very dysfunctional people out there, of which some have absolutely no respect for others and their property, dreadful shame, his work is incredible
Part of the problem is there are no consequences for the people who do these things even if they are caught. If they are caught it will be put down to being from a “disadvantage area” or “silly things people do when they are young”. It’s BS, they need to start getting a criminal record and doing community service. And if under 18 the parents need to face penalties also.
I really don’t get this. It’s well out in the country so these thugs would have had to make a special effort to go destroy it. Just no punishment for this kind of mindless destruction
punish who?
Don't know why people automatically assume young people did it, remember someone kept vandalising the Luke Kelly statues? well turned out to be a grown man in his 40s.
Because it usually is.
Yes but we haven't established the facts yet, that's if we ever do.
Nice to see local people in the driving seat in Winterval again, it is all the better for it. I walked around this evening and the footfall and buzz is electric. Cold frosty nice forecast for the next 10 days so perfect for it.
yup, winters on the way, wouldnt be surprised if small parts of europe experience power supply problems cause of the cold
There was a secret gig sponsored by Guinness as part of Winterval on Dec 10th. Anyone hear who played?
Didn't even hear about the first one but saw about the 2nd one with the tickets on sale tomorrow evening
Hardly be Christy Moore esp if its sponsored by Guinness.
Great idea though
I since heard it was DJ RayC, in Itty Bittys.
I think the 2nd one is already sold out, and the tickets on sale tomorrow are for the last event?
Darn Misread it and thought a few were going on sale tomorrow before 6pm
What can ya do I suppose
If anyone got tickets for tonight please post whoever the mystery person is ?

So who was it ?
Brian Kennedy!
I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The man can sing!
Wonder did he get the 'message in the box'
I'll get my coat
