Whats up guys and gals... thought I'd get al ole thread going on our fair town of Nenagh.

Discussions are open, from local business's, events etc, to goings on in Maximus

whatever your heart desires.

I'll get the ball rolling, are there any gigs or good bands due to play in the near future? There's a lot of hype behind the band Rafiki but haven't personally seen them. They good?

Good man, Dave.

There was a Nenagh sticky here some time ago but I don't think anyone ever posted to it.

Maximus? Easy Street was where it was at back in the day.... :pac:

Anyone got contact details for booking the indoor facility in Lisboney for 5-a-side?

Dave,

Thanks for offering to get that number.
Got the contact details for the indoor pitch in the meantime.
Did a search for "Nenagh Arena" - throws up a Facebook page.

Thanks, Tremelo.

Was actually going to suggest this.

Now, let's see if we can catch up with the Clonmel thread post count

jprboy · 16-11-2011 10:59pm

Mulqueen's Supermarket & Off-Licence has ceased trading after 40 years in business.
First Super Valu, then O'Connor's and now this......

Yes it's a sad state of affairs. People should try spend with local retailers. Although it is very hard to compete with Tesco prices... catch 22

I worked across the road from Mulqueen's for the past year.
my impression from day one was it was about to close any minute.
The shelves were half full, and we returned milk so many times for being gone off but in date.

It was actually for sale for some months before it closed.

DaveNoCheese · 21-11-2011 7:24pm

I live only up the road from Mulqueens, was very handy to nip down to pick up milk or bread but you're right, the prices were bit high and they had little to no stock most of the time. Tis a pity, where will be next?

SARZY · 25-11-2011 10:11pm

Think the off license is closed as well.

Thats a surprise.

The family are in the drink business in the town.

tippguy · 27-11-2011 12:25am

so now nenagh now only has a tesco, lidl & dunnes despite been a bigger town dan d likes of thurles and carrick. clonmel is littered with supermarkets with 2 dunnes, tesco, supervalu, m&s, crunch, iceland and a few londis's too..surely for a town of its size this isnt fair competition and the chamber of commerce should be supporting these family stores but i suppose its all too late now

SARZY · 27-11-2011 5:31pm

The chamber of commerce kept ALDI out of Streame and cost all the jobs in Super Valu as well.

It was well known that Super valu were willing to try to continue as they felt Aldi would have brought people to Streame and aldi have a limited range.

So the chamber cost Nenagh about 50 jobs in Aldi and 50 more in Super valu,

As well as denying CHOICE to the people of Nenagh.

The chamber doesnt serve nenagh it serves its own greedy members.

Made up of gob*****s mostly.

Is Joe(y) O Conor on the committee?

Who else?

mikemac1 · 06-12-2011 1:00am

Smokin' Joe

Famous for caught by Revenue and been taken to court for tax dodging.
And also declaring Nenagh would become a ghost town if it were ever bypassed.

Close enough, but things have turned around. Lots of "high end" fashion shops and shtuff around the town, does be busy too on weekends.

Are the shops doing much business though? Any work around the town centre?

ki · 06-12-2011 12:09pm

Today is my last day working in Nenagh:(, the town can be busy some days, it depends on weather/mart/schools etc.

The shops on the main street are the ones doing business, I hear its a real struggle for anyone a little off the beaten track.

I can imagine yea, I'm living here my whole life and wouldn't know most of the shops around town. Tis a shame.

One thing I have been meaning to do in nenagh is a pub crawl, get in maybe 10, possibly 15 pubs in an evening/night. Recommendations? :pac:

Shame on you !

As for the pubs, if you get in 15 there'll be very few left.
Care to do up a list of all the pubs and their owners and post it up?
The watch the reviews flow in.....:p

mikemac1 · 13-12-2011 2:11am

I counted one day and got twenty eight pubs in Nenagh. That was a few years ago now

For a pub crawl just do it street by street.
For example start at the Dapp Inn, go down Sarsfield Street [elderly folk call it Pound St] past Andy Flynn's, onto the Well for Mitchell Street and then down Kenyon St

End of Summerhill is another good starting point, Pearse St and then up Silver Street. You'd be buckled :P

I used to go to Figgerty's a lot, well they had pool tables.
And there was a tiny place up the street, I forget the name.
Has anyone ever been in there? From the outside there looks to be barely any room at all.

That tiny place is Una Powell's. She sold it a few years ago but the new owners kept the name AFAIK.

One question, Mike: have you been re-incarnated on Boards?

Anyone got any opinions of what Nenagh Christmas Spirit there is around town this year! How are the businesses doing? What has been provided to help them?

A website has been set up, christmasinnenagh.ie, have seen a couple of scattered signs for the site around town,
The website itself tells you of whats going on in nenagh for Christmas
BUT
There is fe*k all going on!! There is an attempt to have a guiness book record for the most elves in the one place, i have no problem with this, its a good idea

BUT
They are holding it on a sunday (18th), personally think Saturday would be a better day and its also in Church Street ie out of the way. Just dont see how this would be in any way beneficial to the businesses in Nenagh?!

Also on the website is Santas grotto and details of mass times in nenagh.... Thats pretty much the website.

Free parking on a Saturday, why not for the week of Christmas ie 19-25th or if they really wanted to encourage shopping in Nenagh the 12-25 which would be two weeks?!
They also organised for Christmas music to be played on the streets for shoppers. Is this the best that a town can come up with for Christmas?! I just think its not good enough because Nenagh is so close to Limerick people will just shop there instead with free parking in the cresent and the likes..

Opinions?
