    why do you think Mary Street park will be a disaster? We will not be going there anyway as 30 mins free is hardly time to do much

    As indicated on my post, it's currently the most used vehicular connection in the town centre from west to east. Surrounding streets can barely cope as it is on a busy Saturday.
    Nevermind how static all the traffic will be once the car park fills and traffic at the entrances comes to a standstill

    They have lost spaces with the way the barriers went up. Also given how narrow the exits are I'd also reckon it'll be pretty hard for trucks doing deliveries to get out.

    This will be a park where you pay on the way out is it? Will there be a machine or an attendant? Maybe there will be electronic signs to say park full and no hold up at the entrance

    Dungarvan is a nice town but 30 minutes is about all you'd need in the shops down there. Apples and Oranges.
    i do not know what you mean by apple and oranges and dungarvan

    Cant compare both towns shopping wise. Whatever about Clonmels ills its a far far superior shopping destination to Dungarvan.

    Suppose the fire services had to gain access to the back of, say Dunnes?

    Cannot see them being able to get in!

    You'd have to imagine all this was factored into the plans. Lets just wait and see before we jump to any wild conclusions.

    All the black tyre marks on the concrete sides there would indicate that it really wasn't factored in that well. I've also seen trucks struggle with it therefore wouldn't call it wild conclusions lol

    Might be so but Dungarvan is streets ahead with its cafes and restaurants

    Quigley's coffee house & bakery want to open on O Connell street beside Heatons. Think it will be nice addition to O Connell street. Hopefully the planning application for it goes ahead. I see O Gorman's have objected to it.No great surprise there.

    Is O'Gorman's nice? I'm not from Conmel and always like to get a cake or a few buns when I'm in Conmel and they never seem to have much left when I visit or nothing appeals to me and I go to the other bakery I think it's Hickey.

    O Gormans are on the other side of the street across from Heatons. I always find it amazing when new businesses try to open up & silly objections go in. You know yourself they are only objecting on competition grounds.

    O Gormans is nice place to go for coffee or food so they shouldn't be worried Quigleys opening. There's enough business for everyone

    Agreed.

    It would be nice to have a better selection of airy coffee shops and family restaurants for a relaxed lunch or even dinner with kids in Clonmel though. I used to go to Tierney's but it's expensive enough, and the pub atmosphere is oppressing of a lunch time. Same with O'Gormans, it's dark and a bit uninviting in my opinion. I do love their sausage rolls though !
    The little place in the pedestrian street next to Fuzzed up is great, I'd be more into that with kids, but it is tiny.

    A place with the relaxed atmosphere of the Mayfair, or that little coffee place above, but that would serve proper, healthy, and traditional family friendly dinners, that's what I'd love to see.

    Wouldn't it be nice if we saw seating out on the street for cafes in Clonmel, tarpaulin to cover from the rain and some heaters like you see in other areas. It's the whole if others are doing it then people tend to get in on the vibe and do it too but I'm guessing the council will charge even more rates for this option.

    I believe the extra rates for this are prohibitive

    I never find this comfortable on roads that have traffic - perhaps only in pedestrian areas or areas back from the street - which O'Connell St doesn't have - can you imagine you are sitting there and a few feet away someone in a diesel car has left it running double parked with the hazards on blocking up traffic while he runs to the bank machine - if the fumes kill you before the noise drives you nuts, you will be lucky.

    Jesus I haven't been in O' Gorman's or Hickey's for that matter in years.

    I usually go to Quimby's in Irish Town now. Buttermarket Café is nice too for sandwiches etc. (beside Lemongrass).

    To the person looking for cakes/buns there is a nice place in Irish Town specifically for things like that. I got a cake in there over Easter and they have loads of stuff like gingerbread man and all. Pretty cool shop.

    If there was a cafe in the Main Guard then the space outside would make a lovely covered outdoor area. In any European city you would see this even in a public building. It should have been factored in when the renovations were done.

    Agree totally. It is something that would be normal in most European cities and towns.

    You can't even drive a nail into the walls there, so I doubt they'd even consider a sensible suggestion like a coffee shop!
