Gonna book accomodation in Killarney as a Xmas present for my recently retired ol man. Lookin for advise on where to book. Have stayed in the Gleneagles before and didnt find it great tbh. Also stayed in a nice little hotel in town that i cant remember the name of.

Could someone recommend a decent hotel to stay for a few nights? He loves Kerry and trad music.

What about the Grand hotel in town or the Danny Mann? Both popular places and play trad music at nites

Depends on your provider, there's forums for each of the different providers on boards.

Apparently eircom were upgrading the broadband but there has been a problem with it in some places, mine included, should be back up soon though

Thought it was excellent myself.. good value for money too He was on stage for about 2 1/2 hours .. and took time out to meet people afterwards .. look forward to seeing him come back

Thought it was hard going, had seen one of his older DVDs and didn't like it, but like him on telly so thought I'd chance it, but can't say I liked the show that much. But in fairness he gives value for money in terms of time on stage.

Does he still just do a load of one liners or has he changed it up to include stories? Find him very funny on comedy panel shows but really dislike his style of stand up.

He started off with a load of one liners,which were funny,but if you switched off for a second you'd miss the joke!
He started doing accents which was the highlight for me,it was mostly stories after that

They must have forgotten to turn them off last year as its WAY too early to have them on....

I saw them earlier myself :eek: They turn seem to them off late evening though.

Fair bit of work put in with them to put them up I'd say

Mr. Tezza

Just wanna say well done to the killarney based Dr. Crokes GAA team on their win today, I'm a Legion man myself but well done to them...

whats the story with the christmas markets this year?

crazzzzy

Our 9 yr old black and tan alsatian/german shephard is missing since late Wednesday night from the Castleisland area. He answers to the name Bailey and is very friendly. If anyone has any information please let me know. I have attached a recent picture

Thanks

Christmas markets this year seem to be in Quills car park, Santa grotto etc they seemed to be a lovely atmosphere there Sat..mind you alot of food stalls would love to see more crafts, but three more weekends left to shop...so time yet...

Does anybody know if the Smokehouse is still open? Their phone seems to be out of service. Maybe they are not open weekdays during the winter

maxim

Thinking of treating herself this year to save her from some cooking! Anyone know if there any places open for dinner/lunch on Christmas Day in Killarney?

Halo Kitty

Did you try The Malton or the Brehon....i am sure they would be open for the festive season..mind you Christmas dinner may be expensive....

I'd go with the Malton before the Brehon to be honest, had a bad experience eating there before to say that least, but as Halo Kitty said, you'll pay well no matter where you go!
