    Folks, looking for a pub with good food where I can watch the Ireland game on Thursday

    K-Town on Beech Rd. is a good spot also.

    Yes, actually! And better than my suggestions. Not sure why I never think of K Town as I've been there a few times for matches, pints and food and all 3 are very good. Big screen also.

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if this is the right place, but myself and my o/h have 2 nights booked in Killarney next week -arriving early Thursday until Saturday. She has never been to the kingdom before and I haven't in years. Just wondering what the main attractions we should try get to are? I was thinking of trying to fit in Muckross/Torc/Gap of Dunloe on the Thursday. Is this feasible or should I break it up between the Thursday and Friday? Any recommended restaurants-come-pubs to grab a bite to eat and a few drinks in?

    Planning on heading to Dingle/Dunquin early on the Saturday. Open to any suggestions though.

    Thanks.
    New viewing platform at the Blasket Ctr in Dunquin, great spot for a walk too.

    This might be a touchy one, but has there been an increase in vagrancy around the town in the last 6-9 months?

    Definitely more visible. Especially in College Square and at the bottom of Chapel lane (near Sheehan's Centra)

    Personally cannot remember it ever being as visible as it is at the moment and I live in the town. Sad to see.

    Hi Guys.... can anyone recommend a GOOD plumber.???

    By 'Good' - I mean:
    1. Tidy in his work.
    2. Knows what he is doing
    3. Reviews the situation BEFORE starting job (NOT looking for water switch-off valve AFTER water is pouring out!)
    4. comes out at the time you arrange

    As you can see.... I have had some bad experiences with 'a friend of a friend' so am looking to try a new plumber.

    I have a leaky toilet needing new parts installed which is beyond my DIY skills

    Any recommendations???

    Don't know what the story is. There was a sign up on the window a good while back saying they were making some changes and would be reopening. But nothing seems to be happening there now. The downstairs part was all self service but upstairs always had table service.

    There would not be enough space for adequate social distancing to probably turn a profit would be my thinking.

    Been out in Muckross Park most days with the dog, they've been noisy enough but haven't seen anything yet. Front entrance to the Park is usually a good place to spot anything though.

    The house beside Daly's Supervalu was demolished in the past few days. They must be progressing with whatever expansion they got permission for. I hope it includes some better system of entrance and exit.

    It's for a drive-thru, so it'll make things worse

    No, getting your shopping was always classed as essential.

    Does anyone know if the recycling centre will be operating from tomorrow onwards? (Closed today). I have refuse bins but I have a massive amount of cardboard and old washing machine etc. to get rid of. I know for the last lockdown, they were only letting people in who had household waste to dump and only if they didn't have any refuse service.
