    Apparently Paul O'Donnell who has Furey's is taking over Connolly's.

    I believe Connolly's pub is closed and due to re-open under new management.

    Love Connolly's but always v quiet when I'm there. It has a lot of charm and character and the barman is lovely. I hope it reopens soon and flourishes!

    Hopefully the management change won't change that. But if they start some tacky modernising crap, it'll be more than the good Guinness that'll be killed off.

    The only thing I didn't like about Connolly's was the lack of lighting.

    It was like walking into a cave, was hard to even read the newspaper while having a pint.

    Decent pub in general though and delighted it won't be closing for good.

    Would anybody know of any jobs going in town? Preferably full time, any kind of work. I've been searching online to no avail :( Thanks!

    Velvet re-opening on Saturday night, looks permanent, not just for the Fleadh.

    Source is popping up as a pop up pub for the week of the Diddly Eye. They've put a fair bit of work into it, hopefully it'll remain open when the Fleadhers are gone home.

    Think Garavogue is opening a pop-up pub for the week too called An Seisiun.

    Couldn't agree more. Did my head in and was the only reason I stopped going there. I honestly couldn't see the change in my hand. Absolutely crazy.

    I reckon if they bump up the lights the crowds will come back.

    Not sure if it is a restaurant or another cafe in the town of cafes. Looks like it will be open this week.

    Still saddened by Pepper Alleys closure, it was a lovely place to go for a coffee and a sandwich!

    Personally, it was one of the places in town I thought was let down by poor staff.. but maybe that's just me!

    And the fact the the same sandwich was a different price every day of the week. One day €3.50 another day €5.50 depending on who is on the till, crazy.

    I thought it was on purpose it was so bad! Like that restaurant in America where they're deliberately rude :P

    Rugartinos is my favourite Italian in town, good value too. Hopefully the move won't affect the quality of the food or the prices.

    Work going on in the big empty unit in jonsons court, across from Euro Giant. Heard ages ago that Euro Giant were supposed to move in there but it seems to be too big.

    Pretty sure it's Boots that are set on a move to Tom Tailor.

    That would be great if Boots moved to a larger unit. I feel they miss out on sales with no room to hold an adequate xmas gift section and full make up range. Love going to the one in Galway.

    Nearly certain I saw work going on in Abrakababra few weeks back too. Anyone know what's going on there?

    Sounds like the town is waking up a little.

    Does anyone know if the yankee candle pop up shop will be round this year seeing as Homestore&More have had to pull their entire stock?
