Please tell me I wasn't the only one who had to Google what both of those terms meant......

Hadn't an iota if we were talking about food or something else entirely.

One's milk; the other's tea so I guess the person seeking 'em doesn't even bother with the Lyons/Barrys argument.

You can get Kefir in most of the bigger Tesco's usually in the Polish section of the refrigerator aisles so you might be able to get it there, its definitely in the Carlow store if you're ever in the town.

Health food shop next to penny's would have kombucha I'd say.

I’ve seen Kombucha in SuperValu in Tullow. It was refrigerated by the bakery section when you first walk in the shop.

I’ve seen Kefir in the Carlow town Lidl too but don’t know if they always have it in stock.

Passed by Centra/Specsavers few times during week; saw a young (ish; she's 33-34 by my Maths; I know her name, she was arrested in 2010 along with 2 other females and 8 males incl. Scatter Doyle and others for dealing in heroin.) lady and middle-aged to elderly (ish) man begging along side each other.

They're clearly known to each other and acting in cahoots.

Since then for last couple of days she's engaging in this alone.

Down outside of Carlow S.C. there's another lad begging away there almost f/t now and then there's the f-t patch @ Dealz (same guy also has begging rights outside of Carlow Cathedral at 10am Mass during week it seems as well as all Masses @ the weekend).

Sooner these begging bye-laws, if they're worth paper printed on, come into play the better; suit the gobdaws handing them money better to spend it in the shops providing employment and paying rates & overheads.

The local PBFP Chief Antagonist/Agitator was part of an occupation in Waterford over night; a 24 hour occupation of a Presbytery.

She was joined by another PBFP member now living in Carlow, a PBFP LE 2019 Candidate for Kilkenny and a PBFP member from Waterford who, I think, previously ran in LEs 2014 or GE 2016 or both and was handed theirs on either/both occasion.

Our PBP wan is also a failed GE candidate; 2015 (Bye), 2016 and now she wants another go in GE 2021......won't run for council though; must think it's beneath her?

If you scroll down their Take Back the City Waterford Facebook page to 13:28 yesterday they say "The support is amazing! Lots of people stopping by to sign our petition to demand the government to open the properties! #TakeBackTheCity".

Yet the photos themselves tell a slightly different story!

Expect possibly property occupations in the constituency; the only benefit seems to be increased publicity for those involved for their runs in LE & GE respectively.

I see Operation Thor/Storm has arrested the same group of people it arrests every time it's in town I wonder will any of these people ever actually be prosecuted and do prison time or just continue to get slaps on the wrists by the judges.Got to feel sorry for the Gardai arresting the same people week in week out month in month out year in year out and never seeing them punished.

Haven't heard any names yet......PM me maybe?

But yes, I'm with you on the other bit; open the Nationalist of a Tuesday and if you see a jail sentence being handed down it's news worthy so rare is it.

Last week the local armed robber was up for various crimes incl. a smash and grab of a handbag from a car in Carlow Cathedral car park, smoking heroin in an abandoned house (one of many on that stretch) on Staplestown Rd., robbing a bottle of vodka from Tesco and Beauty Republic theft on Burrin St.

Suspended sentence.....

You'd wonder sometimes why Gardai bother.

Homesavers're coming to Carlow; opening in Penny Lane (old L&N) on Thursday the 1st of November.

Agreed; we've Mr. Price, Euro Giant (2 Stores), Dealz and would the Range come into this too?

Any others?

The army surplus shop sells cheap tools and DIY stuff so you could probably throw it in there too.

100%. Serial offenders time and time again. The same solicitors in the paper defending them and then out they get to re offend again. Personal experience of this.

Local PBP Chief Agitator has decided to lower her ambitions and is running for council in Carlow LEA......

Where would be the demographic for the PBP lady? I couldn't see her canvassing in the more rural areas.

Some of the rural areas can be pretty disadvantaged too

Majority of Carlow LEA is urban; think it stretches as far as Tinryland (or a part of) though.

She won't be well got in rural parts; she'll probably occupy a farmers cow shed to solve the homeless crisis....

As if Carlow cc hadn’t enough whack jobs wasting democratic space in the Chamber. What’s another one?
She’s fairly high profile, do you think she’ll get in?

Clearly the many LA estates in the town are sadly where her conspiracy theorist views might gain the most traction- those looking for all the easy answers (apart from getting a job, obviously)!

As per Road High there's a possibility yes; could she take Cllr. Laceys seat?

She may only be barely in her chair before she's away off canvassing for a General Election as she's their candidate for that in the constituency too; can't see their selection process having had too many people putting their hands up in fairness so it may'v been her or nobody.

John Pender might be an option; 35 years a Cllr. and at the August meeting for Presidential Nominees the only question he asked all 4 candidates was who'd they vote for in 2011.....

Any word of who will run in the southern part of the county? Probably the usual suspects. Maybe a far left or right to liven things up.
