Molly D'Arcy was the name of Bill's grandmother AFAIK so I expect he didn't want the name to continue on being associated with a hotel which he no longer owns.

Would there be any interest in a Killarney boards beers? Or has it ever happened? Open to suggestions if the interest is there.

Not sure about peoples age myself. Nobody here gives too much away and I find it hard enough to judge a persons age by what they say anyway. I'm 26 myself.

Is there any cafe open in Killarney after 6pm?
Say you arrived off the train at 7pm and just wanted tea and a scone or sandwich then is there anywhere cafe-like to go?

The malton would be your best bet I'd say. I can't think of anywhere open after 6 in the winter anyway.

Credit where credit is due: Some of our local Gardaí escorted an Australian couple from the petrol-station where they stopped looking for directions to their hotel out to where I work, all just to assist them.
The Australian Couple were delighted with them;

so Well Done to them

They didn't have to drive the way!

FFS. There's no need to be bloody cynical all the time. Seriously annoying. Credit where credit's due. There's enough bloody people in this country who think its clever/smart/cool to knock everything.

Yeah there's a guy who sleeps up at the train station every night too and there's three people who sleep in an abandoned and boarded up house in town. Along with however many set up camp in the park. I kind of.befriended one of them by offering him tea and a sandwich one time. Every so often he will hang around the lane where I live and ask for a cuppa and something to eat. He only ever does it if he's badly stuck but I've told him I'd give him something every night but he declined.

I think Donal Grady was on the radio last week saying some kind of centre needs to be set up after a group found a 7 month pregnnant lady living in the park! Whatever about living rough, it's no place for a heavily pregnant woman.

You'd think the churches in town would offer some bit of help, especially with the cold weather kicking in now.

Not offer a homeless pregnant woman shelter from the cold winter nights, especially the Killarney National Park? I'm quite surprised we don't have a hostel of some sort setup in Killarney already.

dobman88 · 03-12-2014 3:41pm

I agree with Keane. Why would a church help? What good has religion ever done? I walk my dog down the park every evening and you can see the lads heading down with their tents in by the trees near the lake. They put on a fire and have their few cans. If a shelter was set up, where would it go? Some of these lads would be too proud to go to a shelter and would rather a tent in the park!

Obviously they should, but I think most people would be long since past being surprised that they don't.

It would be nice to think someone in Killarney might take inspiration from the soup kitchen being run by Joe Soaps in Tralee and do something similar, it all helps.
