    Apparently Fine Wines up in manor has closed down. Someone said it closed a few weeks ago. Never heard anything about it closing!?

    It felt very sandwiched in between the Circle K and Starbucks...didnt you have to drive one way around the back of the Circle K to get to it too since the drive thru lane for Starbucks ooened? Probably didnt help if you were a customer in a hurry..

    I see there's a gastro bar in Dominic street. Has anyone tried it ? Seems to be tapas.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,677 ✭✭✭Ciarrai76


    Its a Spanish tapas restaurant. 2 Spanish guys took over from the guy who had terra foods in there before Christmas

    Yeah I used go to the Chinese there a lot more before Starbucks opened. Drive in past Fine Wines then park at the back of the petrol station, walk over to Pagoda & collect food, dodge all the parking in the centre. When Starbucks opened the traffic flow reversed & I couldn't do that anymore. I expect Fine Wines suffered from a similar issue, no convenient parking anymore. Probably healthier for me! But loss of business to the local shops there.

    That's an odd shop. It always seems like it's closed.

    Anytime I was ever in Radley's I was usually the only customer in there. A very awkward part of town to get to and park unless you are on a bike or motorbike. Didn't the salesman who worked there for years set up his own office supplies business I saw his van with his name on it a few times - grabbed existing Radley customers perhaps?

    There was a lovely Polish woman working in there for a few years and she was doing a great job keeping the place busy etc. Its not been the same since she left a couple of years ago.

    I'd say Radley's was one of if not the last of the Latchford businesses in Tralee. It was one of the sons who owned it before selling afaik.

    Apache Pizza has moved from Spar in Oakpark down to Ashe St, into the old Mozarts unit next to Lana!

    Parking was handy in Oakpark



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,677 ✭✭✭Ciarrai76


    yeah, and was close to where I live! Its bad enough trying to get parked to get Lana!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 449 ✭✭Pirates Ale


    Given the shop is set up for it, you could see another pizza outfit replacing them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭DayInTheBog


    Its a bad day for spar with lost rental income. Wonder will the polish guys at horans and shanakill take it over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭anvilmas


    Any petrol updates? What shops have petrol, are there still massive queues?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭DayInTheBog


    Aplegreen at fairies cross had some up to recently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,677 ✭✭✭Ciarrai76


    Applegreen Fairies cross sold out now. Mcelligots, Joe O'Connors and Kellihers gone. Not sure about the others. it took me 40 minutes to drive to work from top of Oakpark into town centre when I left at 11.15am!

    *Edited to add that apparently some of the petrol stations have started to get deliveries again in the last hour!

    They are allowing kerosene out of the depots according to the Muppet of a spokesperson on TV tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2 Ill a


    O Connors Circle K had fuel tonight, you may have mixed it up with the Circle K at McDonalds, who had fuel gone this Thursday evening. No fuel coming out from Depots yet, incl Foynes/ Whitegate. Heard from someone in the know that Diesel would be 10c lower if fuel deliveries are picked up tommorrow rather than following day. Would the intelligent blockaders want the drivers of Ireland to carry this extra cost also? Shame on them for blocking the emergency services, sick and old from critical appointments etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Aaronj9565


    Emergency services are not being blocked whatsoever and that's a fact. I'm sure if there was an emergency for someone to get through there would be no problem.

    The government isn't engaging, they are taking 1.20 off of the 2.20 for tax. They need to cap it or come to some sort of arrangement before this whole thing stops.

    The guards are pepper spraying and pulling people out of tractors up in cork. This will only make this go on a lot longer.

    Blocking the only refinery in the country and stopping ordinary people from filling up their cars is not a form of peaceful protest it's ransome. The protesters were warned and it appears as little force as necessary was used. If this was any other country they would have been hosed down and arrested long ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 905 ✭✭✭amdaley28


    If it was any other country there would be full blown riots by now.

    The irish are too quiet by far.

    I'm an ordinary pensioner living near a small rural town in the south west & I fully support the protestors. There's some petrol here but no diesel.

    The weasel & the slimeball have had more than enough time to come up with a solution but they thought the people would lie down as usual & accept crumbs from their table.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,677 ✭✭✭Ciarrai76


    They are not holding anyone to ransome! This is all the Governments doing! They could have solved this days ago, but instead decided to belittle the people of the country and treat everyone like dirt! they are a joke! Fair play to the protesters. This should have happened a long time ago. What else do you expect them to do?? allow the government to ruin the country and we just keep quiet and allow it to happen?

    Apologies, I had assumed one of the leaders of the fuel protests, (being discussed heavily in this forum and affecting the vast majority of people In it) condoning rape would have been an issue of interest.
