    I heard there's a plaque to Sean South on Henry Street but I've never seen it?

    There's one to Charles Dickens on Costa in town next to the jewelers for staying in Cruises hotel.

    I was in a car with a friend before and I asked him would he drop me to Subway, he said something to the effect of 'I'll drop you on Cruises Street because I've too much respect for you to take you to the one on Henry Street'.
    After going in yesterday, being given meh service, Italian rather than hearty Italian bread and only black coffee available, it's fair to say he wasn't wrong.

    yes, went in a few weeks back for a replacement licence plate. staff member in uniform sent me to another staff member with no uniform or tag who then told me they cant replace a license plate without a logbook. i offered an insurance cert and nct with my name and license for proof but wouldnt accept these. i arrived back an hour later with the logbook only to be told by another member of staff that they are out of licence plates for the last few days!

    That's a legal requirement in the UK - Halfords being a UK company obviously think Ireland is in the UK, so they set it as company policy here.

    It’s by Subway. It’s relatively new.

    It's on the building beside Subway which was previously a Polish shop but is now some hipster tatoo parlour. Shop front of it is really nice

    To any of the Mary I alumni on here, RIP Momma Lynch who passed away suddenly. She was an institution in her own right in the place.

    Yeah I'd say Bob Sweeney would have them. Should also check out Autobreak in Ballysheedy as I find Bob Sweeney to be a robbing bastard with his prices.

    Id imagine he would. Halfords sell em for €6 but might not necessarily fit your car.

    Bob Sweeney nearly charges an entry fee I have found. Try Darragh in Fentons yard in Raheen or Jack Long out in Ballysheedy. They don't seem to be into the highway robbery ole Bobby partakes in..

    Not sure if anyone was reading the article from the Irish Mirror on the Aengus Shanahan case but it briefly mentions the possibility of a link between Aengus’ case and the disappearances of two other young men, Des Walsh and Matthew Carroll, who also worked as Dell security guards who all wet missing withing a reasonable short period of time. I thought it was an interesting fact to mention that doesn't seem to have been investigated.

    Bear in mind that half of Limerick worked in Dell at the time. It may be just a coincidence based on the large number of people working there. I would be very surprised if the angle wasn't explored by the Gardai though.

    Very true and I'm sure they did, just thought it was quite a coincidence with them all working in the same department. The odds seem quite high for it to occur!
