Pain in the hole or not it’s the cops job, it’s what they are well paid for.

It’s not good enough when the cops know they are having parties, taking and selling drugs and blatantly disregarding the health restrictions for them just to say “ ah **** it, it’s too much hassle, the courts will only let them off “

Do your job, the general public can’t . Every minute they are below in the cop shop they are less of a risk or danger to the general public, especially the old and vulnerable.

Btw I’m not having a go at any of the posts above, just at the guards

Go down to the cop shop and explain that over the counter and see what response you get....:rolleyes:

Please do report back here with the reply you get!

Of course it's true...one of the houses is mine

I fully agree. The Stradavoher end is wide enough for cars but the further up the lane you go the narrower it gets and the opposite end is only wide enough for pedestrians.

I had thought about setting up a committee to get it done. Jim Ryan told a neighbour of mine that since the council "maintain" it we can't do anything. However I've been here 3 years and not once have I seen the council anywhere near it. It's full of potholes, has huge weeds and grass growing on the verge under the fence and is covered in crap gravel.

I know the lane your talking about, have been up and down it myself... I wouldn't take much notice of his or others advice on the matter, they will all say that, they don't have to live there... If Jim was living there there would be a gate up.

Same suitation where i live, row of houses with a lane for rear access, gate at the top of it.... Gate is there years, all owners/residents have a key, gate is locked at night... no drama.

Seen the deli counters removed from Subway in Thurles today. Their Facebook page (there’s an older one that’s inactive) was also removed. Looks like it’s closing down.

It’s closed permanently I can confirm.

It was always much busier than the franchisees other outlet in Nenagh. Rent maybe or franchising fees. It looked like it was Subway themselves removing the catering equipment. Unfortunately a number of businesses that closed due to Covid will never reopen again in the town.

I fear that is going to happen with a lot that are borderline viable. this is a great time to close, no one will ask questions and you can blame the virus. if you close any other time you cannot sign on and there is a lot less help out there for you

what other businesses are not re opening

I passed by Subway on my way to work this morning and it seems normal. Couldn't see anything having been removed although maybe what was removed can't be seen from the road anyway.

Feel bad for all the above businesses if they do close especially Bowes as he's getting hit both in the pub and the travel agency.

For the likes of all the businesses on the square, it puts a different perspective on the redevelopment. A while back I heard that Roches were closing too as the next generation of them didn't want it. Someone told me that they were in there today and the place was thronged with customers.

Heard talk , just rumours I suppose that

Bowes bar
Taffys
Jim Kennedy Parnell st
De burcas
Tom dunnes
Q11
Liber tea rooms

All not reopening

After hearing of Subway now the town could be in a very bad way over the next few months

the fact that 6 of those are pubs probably explains why I cant remember ever putting a foot inside any of them

i remember lidl being a bit of a lottery on what each product was. i remember my mother brining home a few experiments each time and we would have a go to see if it was a buscuit or meat, or what flavour it was. they had some unusual flavores on some stuff

I drive through thurles every now and then. I find that square to be similar to the driving seem around the Arc de Triomphe. It's a roundabout but you get the idea

not as bad since the post office left. the double and triple parking is a lot less.

Subway- I notice the barrel lock on the door Was drilled by a locksmith. Martin Healy the owner has a planning notice affixed to the window. Her other restaurant in Nenagh still hasn’t opened either.

He claims to be the owner to the local authority.
Presuming you mean Lowry?

I thought Healy was more Labour e.g the Alan Kelly Apple Store (Labour/Kelly supporters claimed he was bringing Apple to the O'Connor site. A Mr. Price opened!)

Anyway the PP application is to extend the opening hours from 08:00 to 00:00 so she's semi-closed down.

In other news, work has started on the old Sweeney's bakery site regarding the Primary Care Centre that'll be leased to the HSE.

Wasn't the Watermill supposedly being turned into apartments? God be with the days when it was HQ. Such a great spot!

That's going to do Apache some damage I'd say!

That's 3 takeaways now on Friar Street - Kebabish, Mizzoni and Apache along with Naomi's Cafe which will be moving to where McKeon's shoe shop used be.

Wasn't there an Italian restaurant in Park Avenue for a while? Went there once as it was abysmal. We were waiting half an hour for our order to be taken and a full hour for our food to come out. Then to add insult to injury it was very expensive for mediocre food.

Jim Ryan has a post on Facebook about subway reopening.

How did you get your hands on that?!

Subway reopening deferred until the 29th of July now

There was planning permission granted for that building in 2009

demolition of existing outbuildings, conversion of ground floor public house and residential to retail and extend the retail to the rear all at the ground floor, conversion of the first and second floors from residential to offices including extension of offices to thre rear at first floor, alterations to the shop front and all associated site development works

This has obviously expired now. I’d guess the licence was sold.

Is there someplace in Thurles I can bring cardboard for recycling? The mother has put me to work clearing out while I'm visiting.

There’s no recycling centre in Thurles unfortunately. I believe there’s one in Cashel.

There’s no harm finding a secluded spot somewhere and setting it alight, it’s not like it’s plastics.

Sure feck it, I'll tip down to Cashel, any excuse for a spin out of the house on a soft day.
