Killarney Thread

oeb

I'm sick of these Tralee folks with all their posturing, and thinking they are popular because they have a big thread.

Come on now folks, give Killarney some love! Killarney folks, identify yourselves!

Thank you...

Molly D'Arcy was the name of Bill's grandmother AFAIK so I expect he didn't want the name to continue on being associated with a hotel which he no longer owns.

2/3 months ago. As far as I'm aware, Bill Cullen wanted to take the brand name hence the change in name to Jarveys Rest.

Hi -

Does anyone have a recommendation for a surveyor in the Killarney area? Just gone sale agreed and need a survey carried out. Would prefer to see an example of the guy's work, i.e. example report, list of items covered in report etc.

Much obliged

cheap gyms in killarney??

If you're willing to travel roughly about 15 km outside of Killarney, there's a lovely little gym out in Rathmore (next to the church in a building called Teach ÃŒosagÃ¡in). Prices are pretty good too, â‚¬30 per month, â‚¬100 for 6 months and â‚¬200 for a year. Very quiet place but extremely well equipped and spacious.

Anyone know why the public lighting from Lissivigeen Roundabout to the Torc Hotel (formerly Darby O'Gills) isn't on anymore?

Nobody could shed any light on this then?

The Laune. The bar man there, Paudie, is from Dundalk and will have the scarf up over the fire and all. Last time they played on telly he brought a few friends in and made a bit of atmosphere. With a game this important there should be a few in. I hope to make it myself and cheer on the town cos I'm friends with him.

Sorry if you're a Cork fan but should be good craic.

Yeah but there's a difference between calling your pub The Shire and The Hobbit

There is but the problem is that the bar itself is advertising itself as a LOTR themed bar.

People might ask why would whoever owns the rights bother to care that a pub in Killarney is LOTR-themed when they are earning millions anyway?

Because the owners of these rights are probably making millions out of licencing these rights to toy-makers, computer games companies, T-shirt makers etc.

It would be standard practice in all of these licensing agreements that there would be a clause stating that the person getting paid would have to take all available steps to protect the integrity of the intellectual property. Not chasing up every infringement could end up costing the rights owner millions.

There's been an awful lot of legal wrangling between Tolkiens estate, publishers and merchandisers, especially in the last decade about rights issues regarding the Tolkien books and their content, it basically all boils down to money, somebody somewhere will be looking for "their cut". I would be amazed if some form of legal contact wasn't made in the very near future.

Was in The Shire last night, was jammed but is pretty cool. The lighting in there is really cool and it's nicely designed but If you were to travel down the country just to see a LOTR themed pub you might be a bit disapointed. Apart from posters on the wall, LOTR themed beer taps and a few other bits there's not an awful lot to the whole LOTR based theme. Although I'll have to go back when it's a bit quieter to get a proper feel for the place, It's still a really nice pub though, it's a decent alternative from the other places in town.

Why?

In 2011, Zaentz's company began several legal actions against small businesses in the UK to enforce their "Hobbit" trade mark, including the Hungry Hobbit cafe in Sarehole, near Birmingham and a pub in Southampton, England, which had traded as The Hobbit for twenty years.

Meh, up to people if they want to go with it or not. Personally, not for me but some people might be in to it. It also says it's in aid of a local national school which is fine. At least the money is doing good and not just lining peoples pockets.
