    The website is better then last year’s one. That’s not saying much.

    And it’s flattering plagiarism, but plagiarism all the same that some one has lifted a post I made here a few months ago and used it on the ballinastreetfestival.ie. Of course, there’s a lot of spin added, but they even copied my spelling mistake ‘Belleek Forest Part’, rather then 'park'. It's a classic...

    - A Dunnes and a Tesco with 10pm weekday closing – with the new, presumably 24-hour, Tesco apparently on the way, and until then a 24-hour convenience store
    - An Argos store about 30mins away in Castlebar
    - A large selection of pubs
    - GAA, soccer, rugby, basketball, golf, and athletics clubs
    - Go-carting, golf course, and driving range all in one on the outskirts of the town
    - (Pleasure) boat access to the river (and further) at the Quay
    - Six screen cinema, and besides the actual cinema there's the Ballina Film Club

    Hey Monument,
    Rather than see it as plagiarism, see it as a recognition of your own observations and a thank you at the end of it all.

    Its up there because it was the best run down on reasons to visit that i found on the day of looking while developing.

    Regards,
    ;)
    BTW Cian, dont take it as a personal thing dude.
