Killarney was bananas Sunday, never seen the town so busy for what was a regular summer Sunday. Was out by Ross Castle too, place was mental, fecking Jaunting carts were fierce annoying though going through the park, seemed to be a never ending cycle of them coming and going.

If you are down at Ross again and want to avoid the jaunting cars, you can head down the Copper mines as they don't venture down that direction.

Yeah, they are quaint and the tourists love them, but they are a bit of a law onto themselves.

To be fair if nothing has happened by now, it's probably a lost cause. I would just pay the 200 for a new key. What has he been driving since this happened? I don't think anyone would intentionally steal a jumper, just bad luck. If someone was going to rob the car or house, something woukd have happened by now.

I know this post sounds very harsh and cold hearted but there is no easy way of saying any of it. No offence is intended.

Can anyone give me a link to the operations of the 'dump' in Lissavigeen??

EG... contact details, prices, opening hours and details of what I can bring there.

Can't get google to find anything on it.... I suppose that is good web advertising for Killarney!!

I've been to him a few times and would be happy to recommend although I didn't have anything more serious than a check-up and cleaning.

Edit: Oh wait, it's a dental hygienist rather than a dentist you're looking for so scratch that.

The place for different styles would be Julies barber shop on High Street, across from Penneys. There is also the Turkish barber on Plunkett street but the service can be hit and miss. I used to use him regularly but I don't anymore.

The best place imo, are the Slovakian ladies down the Dunloe Lodge lane. I use them regularly and they have a new guy working with them and he is top notch too. They are also the cheapest.

Any thoughts on how the new junction at the top of High St is working?

My only experience has been traffic jams when trying exit the car park.

I guess the real test will be in September.

my initial thoughts were that it looked very well(and it does), but after sitting in traffic jams all week i'm beginning to think its going to be a disaster,

It looks like a disaster to me. I think it will be the same as the Firies crossroads in Farranfore just before the train tracks where the shop is. And you will have to worry about people flying down from St. Annes road too. There actually wasn't a whole pile wrong the way it was imo.

Are the lights very slow to change there?

The traffic jams have been significantly worse since they turned them on.

The jams coming up high st have been very bad which leads all the way back to Main Street and up college street. I even saw a traffic jam coming down rock road...

It's bad.
