Any word on what happened at the caravan park in camp this morning. Gardi up there and the place cordoned off.
I don't think we get to know half of what goes on in Kerry, there aren't enough (if any) investigative journalists. 😜
I'm hearing that someone was killed.
I'll know more tomorrow.
Aren't they housing (maybe "accommodating" is the more appropriate term) refugees there? If so, I wouldn't expect to hear anything in the media..
That place has been dodgy for a longtime, I don't know what sort of mix are living there at the moment but it was a fair old mixed bag going back a good few years at this stage and definitely not all non-Irish back then anyway. I bought a second hand domestic appliance from someone in there about 5 yrs ago, was just like a rough town estate. The locals have a nickname for it but it escapes me, it's a play on somewhere else in the country where Gardai fear to thread!
It's on radio Kerry. An assault

That Ice-Cream cafe on Ashe street seems to have reopened.
Yet another 'vape' shop has opened in the Mall, next to the phone repair shop...
Nice to hear the ice cream cafe has reopened.
Can't believe yet another vape or phone repair shop has opened. Although it's not just a Tralee thing. I know people complaining in all cities and towns about the proliferation of those shops. Google "American candy stores Oxford Street London" and you have to wonder us something similar happening here. There can't be that much demand for vapes and phone covers that justify dozens of such shops in each town across Ireland.....
The 8yr of a friend of mine found vapes on his school bus lately nicely stashed in behind the little curtains, he brought them home and hid them! Knew enough that he shouldn't have them even at that age, thought they smelled nice! Could have found worse and used it obviously but still.
Listening to a dentist on radio few days ago, apparently they ruin your teeth, give you gum disease, dry mouth which may never go away and bad breath then from that and that's just what they have observed so far, her advice was that a necessary evil temporarily if it stops you smoking but madness otherwise.
I passed by and it was a mizzoni pizza.
That's further up. There's an ice cream cafe down a bit from it.
I noticed the NCBI charity shop is also gone now too.
I spotted that O'Learys interiors on John Joe Sheehy road has a for sale sign up. Says they are relocating!
Does anyone know if there snooker club or place to play snooker in tralee and how much is it to join or play?
There's a snooker club in Pembroke Street. Don't know prices etc.
Upstairs in the Ballymac bar, the lights take coins and you can get the balls from behind the bar
Is there anything like a music rehearsal space in or near Tralee?
Jurassic Park apparently!
That might be a newer one 😄, I remembered it later, O'Malley Park was what I had heard it called!
Is Abrakebabra still open or closed down? Passes today at 4 and all locked up. Opening hour sign was gone off the door.
I don't think they open until about 5pm most days (might be earlier at weekends). They have definitely cut their opening hours though.
I don't think they stay open after pub closing times anymore which is surprising as that used to be their busiest times. Its probably near impossible to get staff to work such late or unsociable hours shifts anymore...
After pubs used to be their busiest times but those days are long gone. A combination of reduced quality of food, very high prices and crazy operating costs will lead to them not lasting too long more if they are not already gone.
I heard it was closed for good. Pity I liked the taco fries.
They were closed Mondays and Tuesdays over the last few months. It was quiet enough on the rare occasions I was in there and sadly it looks like it's gone from Just Eat now. No other decent place for taco fries in town
It did close down a few years ago didn't it?
yeah they closed briefly a few years ago, but reopened after negotiating rent etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they are gone this time though.
I haven't been in there in a very long time but any time i pass there's normally no one in there. If it does go you'd wonder will it be the end of the Shopping Center.
And Gamestop closing too.
Agreed on the Taco fries. While not as good as they used to be, still the best in town. It was my treat to myself every few months if I was down town for something.
Tralee Chamber & the council would want to pull the finger out and try and do something to bring more diverse business to the town centre. There should be a blanket ban on anymore coffee shops, vape shops and tech shops. I’d suggest they should be waiving rates for a few years for new businesses and reducing the rates of existing shops in the town centre. If they don’t do something, they will have no rates to collect in a few years.
Be waiting a while before the Chamber do anything. Still only interested in photo ops and taking credit for everything. I seen all accommodation etc in Tralee is booked for the Kerry Mayo game next week, i'm surprised they're not taking credit for that.
