Hi lads, just wondering if anyone knows if there's a go-kart track in, or close to, Killarney. Failing that, any recommedation for something for five lads to do on a Saturday afternoon besides drinking?

What type of 'lads' are ye?! I met a bunch of tough looking, camouflage gear wearing skinheads and who enjoyed an afternoon sitting by a boathouse drinking. They rented bikes for the day and just enjoyed the views. They seemed to have had the nicest day just chilling out, and chatting away to people. It still breaks me out in giggles thinking that I was initially terrified of them, and ended up having a lovely chat.

That included drinking though. Ooops.

Aww fantastic news. Their was always a friendly smile and warm welcome when I went in there, either fresh-faced at beginning of a jog or totally wrecked after one.

I look forward to calling back in when it re-opens.

After a walk down the demesne tonight I noticed the beautiful designs that were put on the new thatch-work on the roof of Deenach Lodge. It really does set it off.

Ferris Wheel?

I'm of the understanding that it is an 'observation' wheel, like the LondonEye but would be called The Killarney Eye

The courtcase is still pending as far as I know. It is absolutely cruel what they are doing at the moment - Instead of going in through the National Park to reach Dinish Cottage, they are bringing the horses on the main Kenmare Road to that entrance out past Torc Waterfall. The horses are just not used to that much traffic and noise while carrying a load of passengers. I think that it is an accident waiting to happen.

Does anyone else evacuate Killarney during the May Bank Holiday rally?

The traffic lights are running now near Aldi. Doesn't seem to affect things too much traffic wise.

I posted here two years ago about the state of Ross Castle car park on the Sunday morning of that May bank holiday.

The amount of rubbish, chip cartons, pizza boxes, cans,bottles and broken glass strewn all over the car park was disgusting.

What really made the situation worse was there were coaches bringing tourists (English & American) to Ross Castle who had to step over or around this $hit to see the beauty of they ---> were going to see.

totally off topic i see that down in killarney community college they are setting up a tag rugby event during the summer it would be funny to setup a killarney boards team?

What do you think of this?
A nurse/carer has scored my 90 year old late uncle’s estate worth more than half a million pounds.
The carer works in London as a carer for elderly men. She befriended my 90 year old uncle, and six months before he died he willed his estate to her worth in excess of £500,000.My uncle died rather suddenly. After the death the lady in question moved quickly to transfer the assets of the estate to her name.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Further, they are now refusing to honour financial dealings between my uncle and I. In particular funds held by my uncle for our family home in Mayo, where I lived as a child, have not been returned to us.

guess he saw she was all that cared when he could not do for himself
alos you would have to prove he was not of sound mind
not of sound mind would he would have had to been diagnosed with alzheimers before the will was drawn up

Do you know if the teams can be mixed? I'll be up for this if we have the numbers...have not played tag-rugby since primary school though.

madrabui

I know someone who would be interested as well.

Those women obviously have no morals and no ethics. How could they take advantage of an old man.
I would be pretty upset too if it was my uncle, or for that matter any old person.
Can you tell us more about the family house.
Can you take them to court?
Do people know what they have done? Arn'e they embarrassed?

Just a note: regarding this case of the elderly man and his inheritance... please be very careful when discussing this, and please do not leave this site open for any libel accusations. I will be keeping a close eye on this conversation but really this is not the place for it. If you are genuinely seeking advice on this matter, I would try one of the legal forums on this site. A local thread is not the place to discuss matters such as this.

7 a side min of 3 ladies and 4 lads on the field at all times a max number of 12 players allowed. total price is 500 euro that equates to 41.33 per person. I recon subs would be used.

Is it just me or in Killarney, anytime a property becomes available it almost immediately gets taken over by either a coffee shop or a bookies!

In other news I hear the Granary has been turned into the Lough Inn -haven't been home in a few weeks due to college exams but from what my friends tell me it sounds like a yank tourists wet dream!

I remember the days when you could barely finish your coffee in peace in some premises before the table would be needed again for more people walking in.

Their seems to be more than enough in town for the demand that is presently in Killarney in my opinion. Maybe the owners think that some money being generated is better than none and the building just sitting idle. Just my thought.

Yeah they do their customary walk-in there alright but everyone knows the drink will still be served once people want it in there.

The latest for me was once just after 5am and their were more people in there drinking after 3am than during official hours.

tbh, i think she should consider her moral conscience, and give back what isnt hers, considering this 90 year old man might not have known what was going on

funny how it was op first post and now jgilberts first

nowhere in post does it say that anyone else but carer cared for uncle , might be that uncle knew exactly what was going on, if so good for him , amazing how many ppl come out of woodwork when a few bucks to be had , and by the way it is hers to do with as she sees fit
