It's probably been said here a million times. I think it'd really liven up that side of town if a store like River Island/New Look etc were to take on the unit. I have heard before in other towns and cities that Dunnes do hold on to their own buildings for fear that their competitors would get in there and make a quick buck while their backs are turned..

I kind of envision the town being on the cusp of a boom. All these spaces and such a diverse and young population. Maybe I'm way the hell off. Someone enlighten me!

It is also quite possible that this building will be used as they expand their new Cafe Sol business.

Kildare last year and it was awful how many empty units there were. Tralee looks so much better in comparison. Slowly things are improving for Tralee town...slowly! A lack of industry here is a big issue though.

Always pass it going to soccer games but never had the opportunity to stop before. Nice little pub and the lads working/running it were sound too. Seemed like a nice local pub. Would return again.
