    Can see how Covid 19 is taking a toll already locally- see two shops in Macdonagh junction gone (both ladies wear) also Monsoon in market cross. Lots more vacant premises around Kilkenny unfortunately

    I work in tourism, I pull pints, which is gone and I'm not sure how it will pan out on the 29th with all the restrictions, I'd say the guards will be busy. I have my own business which is completely reliant on foreign customers, so I think that's parked until next year.

    Those places depend on tourists massively. No tourists then it’s very hard for them to be viable.

    Friend of mine plays in a band and he put up a few videos of himself practicing in Ryan’s in the past few days saying he’s looking forward to the reopening.
    Coffee lane , opposite langtons main bar, looks closed permanently. All signage removed. Which is no harm, place was closed previously for lack of vermin control and having eaten there once, the food was not fresh at all.

    As if it wasn't tough enough for businesses as it was, without having lads publicly adding to false rumours.

    Yes they run 7 days but reduced frequency on a Sunday. Could be every half hour you’d need to check online

    In market cross today for the first time in a long time. The number of empty units surprised me. Sad to see the city looking so bare without the tourists.

    Yes was there last week and only said the same thing. Units in a row empty that previously had decent shops in them.
    The rents are out of kilter completely though.
    Also Super valu no longer doing the hour free parking if you shop there. Things were already bad enough you’d imagine. The whole operation reeks of amateurism and second rate-ness. Was a time when this was a some what upmarket place

    I went to the garden centre on the Callan Road this afternoon. It's a little gem of a place. Great chat with the owner.

    Apart from Penneys and SuperValu, there will be precious little left in Market Cross.

    Well this is novel; possibly a first for Ireland in terms of LIDL?

    PP sought to demolish & reconstruct a larger LIDL store on Waterford Rd.; not only that but to also construct 13 2 Storey Houses......
