    What's happening in Clonmel is a lot to do with the Town Council who are elected by us and receive tax payers money as well.

    Agree with you, they need to reduce the rates and introduce incentives to get people into the town. Free parking one day a week every week would help. Encouraging stalls selling food in a centrel location would be another basically anything to get people into the town. I wont even go into allowing tesco to build on the edge of the town thus drawing people away from the centre.

    Also Landlords in the town are not reducing rents that are putting people out of business.

    Surely receiving lower rates and lower rent is better than receiving none what so ever.

    They could also put pressure on the guards to try and sort out the problem of hoodies hanging around the town causing trouble and intimidating people.

    I'm asking for too much I'll stop:o

    I don't think there is much the guards can do about hoodies hanging around the town, they have as much right to be there as you or I. Free parking could be a good idea though.

    What is the point of electing TD'S when they have no power.....Its all very well standing up in the Dail and bringing up issues.They may as well spit in the wind.....Every one of them is a waste of tax payers money.We are up to our waist in ****e,and not a shovel between us:mad:

    We definately haven't the best track record on TDs. Martin Mansgher, Mattie McGrath, Tom Hayes, Seamus Healy, Noel Davern, Theresa Ahern are a parade of the pointless. Anytime they were on TV you would cringe with shame. But then when you look at the candidates we rejected (Murphy, Prendergast, Browne, O'Donnell, etc) you realise we probably elected the best of a bad lot. The meetings of the local political parties must be like something from a home for the bewildered. If these are the best they can put forward can you imagine the drooling shuffling gob****es that didn't get selected.

    But we'll have Michael Lowery representing us next time in the new merged five seater so he'll probably bring a Universial Studios Theme park to Fethard.

    Poor showing due in part to the lack of advertisement. Most people I talked to didn't know a thing about his visit. I was in a shop and three strangers didn't have a clue. Could have been advertised much better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭Royco


    The difference a week makes, I was away for the last week in Dublin came back and found out the President was here (heard nothing about this at all), Chapmans is gone( big shock) Chick king is gone ( no shock there) st lukes and st michaels confirmed going this month shocking.... ANY GOOD NEWS OUT THERE PEOPLE.

    The original chippers that opened there got a bad rep for not so nice food and even though Chick king was new owners as far as I know, it didn't pick up. Hard to compete with Lyons and the other take aways on the cashel road roundabout. The amount of people in Eddie Rockets always amazes me. It's so expensive for fairly standard burger and chips.

    Only found out myself when having a couple of pints in Mulcahys on Friday lunchtime - madness!

    well wont be me cos it has all happened before and will continue to happen again where theres cash there will always be fraud, not saying its right just saying how much he delivers in north tipp compared to TD's in south tipp and if anyone tells me theyd turn down an offer of thousands of cash if they were able to pull a few strokes then their lying.

    No they dont, loitering is a public order offence in Ireland. Hard to say when it becomes an offence but when ten hoodies are standing out on the street making remarks and trying to intimadate people, espicially older people, then the guards could/should enforce it.

    The 1.4 million went to the Revenue after an audit. CAB are still investigating.

    Should be fun to see if they go after Wallace.

    Hi, a newbie here, I enjoy reading the thread and finding out what's happening in Clonmel.

    I heard that The Stonehouse is owned by Clifford's, I think it's his son that is running it.

    Looking forward to trying it out.

    Cliffords? name sounds familar but remind me who are they, had a peek in the window 2 days ago, looks very posh and well furnished in there, no clue as to what sort of food they will be selling.
    There was a 12 wx reg merc outside.

    Does anyone know why the Mayfair is closed?

    Clifford's used to have a restaurant in Cahir, by all accounts it was really good, think they won some awards.

    It was run by a husband and wife. They opened a restaurant in Clonmel, the same place as The Stonehouse. I think the husband died suddenly, and now his son is taking over the business. Hope it goes well for him. Heard it is going to be an Italian restaurant.

    Can confirm all of this. They used to own the restaurant at The Bell in Cahir.

    Father suddenly died around 7 or 8 years ago now. Haven't spoken to the son in a good while but he is a chef. Still keep up to date with his works on Facebook. The restaurant they had in Clonmel is down passed the bus station next door to the off license which then became a Chinese which is also now closed!

    He's only 20, so a good future for him. He's not in Cahir or Clonmel though. In Ranelagh in Dublin now and doing v.well!

    Article he wrote about his father which was written recently:

    was talking to a guy who viewed it recently said its in a terrible state owner not spening any money on it it needs a new roof and new equipment all fryers and grills are out dated to expensive to run plus its carrying a high rent.


  • Registered Users Posts: 61 ✭✭hamco


    The stonehouse has a menu board outside, decided to take a look, the menu didnt seem italian, todays menu had roast beef, duck, pan fried cod fillet to mention a few, prices from 24e to 27e for a main course.

    While I was looking at the menu another car pulled up and the driver jumped out to have a look at it as well:D.

    Good reports so far on the new Stonehouse place.

    A friend was there the other night and was well impressed.

    Oh and he said it's definitely not a member of the Clifford family that's running it.

    Good food, nice staff and decent price would be the key things.
