Me and a few lads are heading to Killarney for the weekend, what age is it for the pubs and clubs as I'm only 20. Wouldn't want to go down and get refused everywhere.

Thanks.

They rarely do unless you look particularly young - fairly certain I've been ID'd less than 5 times in Killarney since I turned 18 and I'm nearly 24 at this stage!

Drove to ladies view last week.. Anybody notice that its not broken white lines all the way up?? Why is this

Luap

Thanks for the replies lads.

That wasn't really my question, was wondering are they over 21's or 23's.

I presume by the replies there just over 18?

There's no 21's or 23's - it's all black and white in Killarney - either you're old enough or you're not :pac:

Thanks a lot Paulie.

finish work in evening & down the Demesne after, first time in a few weeks & just stunning! Truly is second to none. A nice clear head now for a nights' research ahead of me

Tell me anyone, this evening their were a few characters down there that stood out to me: for their clothing. I was wearing a sleeveless vest-top and a wind-breaker for my jogging & that was just perfect with the evening that we have today.

However, their were a few down there wearing a shirt & sweater & blazer and had backpacks, elderly gentlemen now. I found it odd with the weather and as I said, they just stood out from everyone else around as no-one else was that heavily dressed.
Would anyone know any good reasoning behind this My mind never rests & I'm just curious.

I saw a few elderly locals with their customary non-lightweight jackets but they weren't as heavily dressed as the above! I just found it odd considering the clear blue sky and light wind that was blowing.

Elderly people don't feel the heat as much, and maybe be more open to colds and flu's...so common sense for them to protect them selves with a bit of layering. and enjoying a stroll...

During the height of the heat I was still wearing a hoodie zipped up (just because im so used to wearing it) and never even really considered taking it off, it was the same with plenty of other young folk around I.T Tralee.

Deenach Lodge is the Coffee Shop at the entrance to the Demense (National Park) opposite the Cathedral

Here it is on google maps/ street view. http://g.co/maps/xh4dx

The Deenagh is the river which runs along side the Port Road and over which you cross at Kings Bridge to get in to the National Park to get to the Lodge.

Do you guys think it's too late to apply to places in town for summer jobs now? I have experience in hotels..

Halo Kitty

Not at all. get a copy of the killarney advertiser. and ear to the ground... The season will only begin from next week onwards...

Try the brehon, call in and ask to see a manager they usually take on a few for the summer

That's depressing!

Anybody know of any social groups in Killarney?

Maybe that meet up and go for walks or nights out and things?

I find there is virtually nothing to do. My friends and I are 21 and find it hard to meet new people if you don't want to go drinking.

markie29

Hi guys....just wanna ask which tour i should go on for one day while i am in killarney....the ring of kerry or dingle/slea head.....i will be using a tour company to do the tour.

Halo Kitty

Both very good tours, but before you book anything check out weather forecast because if it is over cast or cloudy your sight seeing is very limited....Have done the Ring of Kerry on a very cloudy day and can say i didn't see much from Waterville until we came to Ladies View....

You could join the Killarney cycling club. They do evening leisure spins that cater for all abilities www.killarneycyclingclub.com.

Does anybody know where I could find history on Deenagh Lodge? Couldn't find much on the internet only the year it was built and that it was a gate house. For a project so need detail of its construction and details of conservation, restoration etc. anything would be a help

You can return any time you want to most b and b's they often give u a key for the front door and others have night porters, try somehwere like lake lodge on muckross road, its between muckross park and the town
