I would happily welcome them to Carlow. They wont be everyone's cup of tea but they will at least give us an alternative to the same old same old that all the local pubs have been throwing at us for years at ridiculous high prices. I hope it is true that they are coming.

I've used weatherspoons loads, always good food at a reasonable price and plenty of ale choices for me

I don't know how true it is. But it seems to be the place everyone I know has heard. But not sure where the story started from.

Super-Rush

Seeing reports on Facebook of a high speed chase between a van and a squad car.

Apparently it ended up in an accident outside EPT.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Charity single from Carlow band 79Cortinaz



We filmed this in Carlow last Friday night. S ee if you can guess what road it is thats speeded up about 1 min 30 secs in ...

I think it is the one going out past the golf range behind swimming pool.

The band have a lovely sound. Really like it.


(might also being the road that goes out past the par 3 at Quinagh - although my money is the first)

maccored

nope. Technically its in Laois, but its a little side road that runs between two other, bigger roads. Theres a clue.

All the proceeds go to charity - plus its only 99c ... thats cheap for a song, when you think of it. Its been getting some nice mentions:

Is it the road you turn up for the Mall Pub on the Castlecomer Road?

Queen-Mise

Ok - It is the back road to Athy, that goes out from Dunnes roundabout, and goes past Knockbeg.

maccored

nope to both - though the mall one would probably be the closest guess so far.

Water was off around ballon from 11 last night so I guess that was related to that and could well be off again tonight..

tommycahir

jesus just back from the doctors and parked in royal car-park, I would have been better parking in the damn swimming pool in graigue (actually in it, not at it) for a multistory car park the amount of pools of water there is ridiculous!

rule supreme

Has anyone any idea why they raised and made bigger that roundabout in tullow as you are leaving tullow heading towards carlow or castledermot . All the lorries with trailers have to now drive over the top of it because its to tight for them to stay on the road .Crazy planning who ever did it .

Nead21

It's not finished yet. Kerbs are also very high. I would imagine the new surface will be higher to accommodate this.

tommycahir

from Carlow map alerter

There will be major delays and severe restrictions to traffic on the Thomas Traynor road in Tullow all next week (Monday10th to to Friday 14th March to facilitate macadam surfacing of the road and use of the diversions is strongly recommended and only local access on Thomas Traynor road will be in operation during this period.

Value centre do or at least used to and perrys should have them. Whether you can still go in without an account I dont know. Things have been tightening up in that area.
