So, happy new year Kilarney,
Did anyone see the lightning this morning at 06.30. It was a short storm but my God the last flash and bang shook the house! Followed shortly by a severe hail shower.:eek:

happy new year to all, hope the year ahead will be ok.

hey Molzer2, I didn't get to sleep until after 5am so by the time that kicked off I didn't hear a thing & I'm normally a light sleeper!

Great start to 2012 for me although I don't forsee 2011 being beaten for some time to come for me personally

Enjoy 2012 everyone!

bring it on,
was in killarney to do some of my christmas shopping, enjoyed my time there, you folks are lucky to have dealz in your town, got to md o sheas to buy gifts and out the cork side shopping centre, lots to see and do there,
plenty coffee shops, i did find parking a bit of a pain, waiting for someone to pull out to get their position, but that is a small price to pay for a nice browse around and getting a few deals also.
will be back to your dealz shop, and ye have a fine big store on the cork road, i think it used to be called 4homes

Happy New Year everyone

Another bad night's weather last night! Hope you all got through it alright.
This is a link to a weather station located on the Town Hall if you're interested,;)

What is that Dealz store like anyway? does it seem to be popular or???

goat2

go in try it out, you will come out with items, and be back for more, i love the fact that i can get each item for 1.49 well known brands at that

Hey everyone, happy new year

Anyone been to the West Lake Palace Chinese restaurant? I've been there, but always with quite a large group, so we usually just pay 20 ish each. But I'm planning on going there Monday night with just my boyfriend, so I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect price wise?

I've heard it's not too expensive, but I just want to be sure, because I'm just a wee college student, so I'm on a bit of a budget

Going to Killarney tomorrow night I'm just wondering where is the best takeaway around there?

you living in chicago,you are obviously familiar with the cheesecake factory
now that is one drool inducing joint, i went to their orlando place and can honestly say it was the best eatery i've ever been to

travelledpengy

I ate in the Chicago one 2 summers ago, it is always packed during the summer, ate in the San Fran one last summer... truly mouthwatering food at a reasonable price too! (like a lot of American eateries in fairness) must take herself out to dinner there some evening now
What I like about here too is the popularity of slow cooked meat, pulled pork sandwiches are out of this world!

I rarely post in the Killarney-thread, but I just have to say that I love the National Park. After spending countless weekends there over the last couple of years I finally managed to spot my first eagle today. I never thought they were that huge and I was very lucky to see it flying fairly low over the treetops on Ross Island. You have a great place there!

Absolutely remarkable Quaderno, thank you for these pictures

I know I take what we have in Killarney for granted at times with the National Park and Lakes.

With my new found hobby of 'resting' a lickle bit more, I should have no excuse not to explore what we have in this county in general over the coming weeks & months.

Killarney truly is lucky with the National Parkland

They are amazing to watch, one day i will never forget was a few weeks after they released 20 of them in 2010, 2 mates and I kayaked from the five mile bridge through the lakes and along the shore of lough lein by O'Sullivans Cascade, We seen at least 15 of them just fly out of the trees at random points.. unreal experience!

It's a pity they don't really stick around when they get older

Mr. Tezza

My Dad's always goin walking on the hills and has a fair few snaps of the eagles, I'll try and get a few off him and post them up here

Can anyone recommend a good pilates instructor in Killarney? Ideally small classes and don't really fancy the Physique Fitness Studio for some reason. Thanks
