Tralee thread

I remember the days of heading into Farmers in boherbee and sometimes you would have to order or book the latest video because they didn't have enough copies! I think Farmers had a van too that would be a mobile video shop!

It was Phil Farmer that was next to McElligotts undertakers and I remember the shop was it Slattery's, to go in for the taytos and sweets!
All you had to give was your account number, no names or anything and the video was given out in a plastic sleeve - it was a nice event going to the Video Shop

it may be a clothing store.... Mountain Warehouse? Think i spotted some signage there, believe they are the crowd that were mentioned here earlier in regards to being competition for Landers

Yes Mountain Warehouse is going into where Boots was
be great to have an outdoor store there which is supposedly good value, but we will see I guess.

Lads & lasses! Looking for a bit of help/guidance here if anyone can provide it!

I've recently relocated to Tralee from Limerick due to my partner (who's a local girl) & i having a baby. So far ally's good, loving the town made new friends etc. I kept my job in Limerick even though the commute is hard on a daily basis & due to not much openings down this way. 3 weeks ago though I was placed on a 3 day a week due to slack business in my job & now basically I've no other choice but to to seek work in this area but I'm finding it hard to obviously get work here and also I'm struggling to even find places to hand cv's into!! I'm constantly scrolling through FAS.ie, Traleeles.ie Monsterjobs etc but nothing!

I've 12 years warehouse,production & manufacturing experience behind plus also delivery experience, can anyone recommend places that might be of interest of me & any other industrial estates besides Clash,Monavalley and Ballyspillane in Killarney because as of yet there they only ones I'm familiar with!

Thanks in advance, and apologises if I'm posting in the wrong forum!

Hi all. Just moved to Tralee with my wife and our 7.5 month old son this week. We found a great place to live right in the centre of town. I am a professional musician in the midst of a career change and my wife is a school teacher. She is Canadian (I have CAN/UK citizenship), so she can't work until I am exersising my EU treaty rights, namely by working at least part time.

So far Tralee has been great to us. We like it a lot. It has been fairly easy to get things done. We got our flat, applied for and are awaiting our PPS numbers, bank account details, we got a family doctor, library cards, etc all within a matter of days.

Although we haven't ruled out wanting to stay in Tralee for the long term, we're mainly here in Ireland trying to fulfill a sort of convoluted UK immigration process. Since there is a lot of teaching work in the UK, we've been thinking about moving to Scotland. However, since we have a dependent, we do not meet the criteria for obtaining Canadian visas to the UK. So we are trying to apply for a family permit. In their moves to crack down on net migration, the U.K. has made it very difficult for the non EEA spouses of UK citizens to obtain treaty rights. Much more difficult than most other EU countries. So we are doing what is known as the Surinder Singh route, which entails moving your centre of life to somewhere within the EU (but outside of the U.K.) for at least three months. Once we can prove that we've integrated and I've exercised my treaty rights, we can apply for the family permit that will grant my wife similar rights to a UK citizen. Crazy, isn't it?!

Anyway that's what we're doing here, apart from the fact that we love Irish people, we play trad music and Tralee was the easiest and most affordable area to find a place to live in all of Ireland.

Now I need to find at least 12hrs of work a week. I am going to teach as well, and have one student interested already, but it's been a little slow on that front. Despite that though, being self employed might make the most sense this time of year here.

In any case, just thought I'd introduce myself. Today we find ourselves looking for entertainment out of the house for our little fella. Any ideas are welcome! I know while we were in Ennis there was an indoor play place that was good fun. Anything like that here?

Cheers.
