Tralee thread

Its being opened by the couple who are running the cafe in Fairtree Village (ballyseedy). They also opened one in the outdoor area of Fairtree Village.

Anyone got any idea what being built in the site on the left in upper Oakpark as you head out of town? A lot of activity there for the past week. New site shuttering up. Was planning for a Nursing home a few years ago.

time will tell…

absolutely no connection. Just a pissed off citizen that these people literally can do what they want, and get the support of the public like nothing has happened.
If an "acquaintance" of mine was arrested for drugs haul that size last thing I would be doing is stepping in and taking over both their businesses. Out of respect and out of concern for my reputation.

I'll be spending my money elsewhere anyway. Each to their own.

I know a lot of people in Kerry will not step foot in the place even though they feel sorry for the hard working staff who done nothing wrong, it would be different if the place was sold and new owners where trying to make a go of it, but it is not sold

What's going on with Oakview creche? See a few odd posts on FB but no real explanation.

Yes that's what made me wonder, anyways now I've seen the allegations, it's on Reddit! How much is true or not who knows but it's not a good look for any business of that sort!

she's not the owner and isn't working with them anymore (she was there for a long time though). She has a statement up, but like you I don't know what was said or what allegations she is claiming were made?

''Statement Regarding Recent Alleged Incidents at Oakview
Tralee, Co. Kerry – 24th June 2025
To the families, staff and wider community,
It is with deep regret that I feel the need to issue this statement.
I am deeply saddened by the recent allegations surrounding alleged incidents at Oakview Village Childcare, Tralee, and I would like to issue this statement to unequivocally clarify my position and support for the families involved.
I had no involvement or knowledge, directly or indirectly, regarding any of the events or decisions currently under scrutiny at Oakview, nor in any other matters which may now come under review, from the end of 2022 up to the date of my resignation.
I formally resigned from Oakview as of 28th February 2025; however, I had no operational involvement in the day-to-day running of any Oakview Service from the end of 2022, in line with an executive decision made to ensure the company could operate independently and not remain overly reliant on me.
To see what has now allegedly happened in the company I devoted 15 years to building, a company that was widely regarded as an exceptional, child-led model is devastating to say the least.
As a proud mother and business consultant, my personal and professional life is anchored in principles of integrity, accountability, ethical practice and a caring approach to all I do. It is precisely because of these deeply held values that I stand wholly apart from the actions currently under investigation.
I support due process and responsible dialogue. Not only do I trust that the facts will be clearly established in time, but I also hope that the families involved receive the respect and support they deserve.
Sincerely,
Clódagh Moynihan''

Ithought she was the owner. She was always there when they were winning awards etc

It was a complete sh*tshow on reddit yesterday. Some very serious allegations were made and a number of people were named. There are some absolute dopes who just can't grasp that you do no not name people on social media and make "I heard from someone who heard from someone that xyz was happening" allegations. If there is an investigation into this, naming people online will endanger it.

looks like a lot has been deleted as barely anything up there now! I don't know why people can't understand how naming people publicly like that is so dangerous. So many dopes that need to stay off social media!

Somebody named her on Reddit and it was subsequently deleted.
