I heard that a pair of bronze hens are planned for the other side of the courthouse.
The sculptor is Don Cronin who has strong Killarney connections.0 -

I like them! They are certainly unique so won't be found elsewhere. Well done to the sculptor They are sure to take centre-place in some pictures from people on nights' out too I would say.
As for location - I am unsure as to why they are placed outside of the towns' Court-House considering the significance and importance of the Court-House
I am delighted those fish are gone though! Who-ever thought of putting those fish outside the Court-House or even in a roundabout should have a few words spoken to them imo. I don't know what happened to them but I sure am happy I'm not looking at them!0 -

Oh I seriously hope the rally week-end won't be as bad as last year and my planned long weekend of study will actually happen!
=> yes some locals have study & other plans for the long weekend so how's about those of you planning on coming here show some more respect for the locals this year than what was shown last year yeah?!
That'd be nice,
Thanks! 0 -

i cannot see it being as bad as in past, after all those little souped up cars will be far and few between due to the economy, i think there are some new laws governing these now, and all there will be just real followers of motorsport,
i go there every year, but i go to the stages and as soon as race is over i go home. it is lovely of a good sunny day,
i do hope that the residents of killarney and surrounding areas are not annoyed by people who dont take others into consideration, and they are a very small minority of us that attend these events
I admire your optimism goat2, truly! The rally-goers are grand, always were. It's the ones who follow the rally into town, don't follow it en route and create public-order problems that grate me :mad: and I don't forsee a change in those characters changing their antics this year though

Kerrys' loss truly is Clares' gain
"30 Apr 2012
White-tailed sea eagles spotted nesting
And finally it's hoped there's going to be a baby boom for Kerry's white-tailed eagles - but it seems that the birds have decided to snub this county!
A pair of the sea eagles have been spotted nesting near Lough Derg, in Co. Clare.
It's hoped that the happy couple may soon hatch some chicks - which would be the first time the region had seen sea eagle chicks in 110 years. The breeding pair was released in Killarney National Park last year as part of the White-Tailed Eagle Reintroduction Programme.
Although some pairs have established themselves in Kerry, the nesting attempt in Clare is the first known such event since the programme began. But what is Kerry's loss has proven to be Clare's gain! Eoin O'Hagan is the founder of Clare-Virtually-dot-ie which promotes tourism in the area"0 -

Whats with "Mackey Sheas"?
Is St Olivers the largest primary school in Kerry and why was it sited there (Rookery Rd) and not next to the new church (and car park) on Park Rd?
Why cant google maps, tom tom and garmin get the name of Mission Road right?
Wheres the Port on Port Rd?
How old is New St or New Rd?
The Grotto.
Jimmy the Masters.
The Golden Gates.
Dennehy's Bohereen - the definitive urban bohereen.
The Flesk. Tralee doesn't have rivers or M&S's or real lakes.
The Poly.
New Street Car Park is on the bottom of New Street. New Street is not just the straight part.
The Mackey in Mackey Sheas is a nickname. Pretty sure Mackey was the father of the current older Mr Shea. Actually their surname is O'Shea so its odd that the O is dropped.
Not sure about St Olivers but I guess it is - Tralee might have the population (anyway Tralee is smelly and full of poo) Cant see any other location in Kerry having a bigger one. No idea why its located where it was. I'd imagine it was the case that . Probably about 20 years between the school being built and the new church. If I run into Brendy I'll ask him
Misson Road -WTF never heard of this :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Port Road - no idea ; maybe something to do with the river or maybe some mixedup translation from Irish
New St/ New Road - no clue
The Grotto - always found this weird ; in a related note Christ the King (grotto/statue accross from the International)
Jimmy the Masters - named after the owner ; was there some connection to horses?
The Golden Gates - heard a rumour that there was a passage under the road around here.
Dennehy's Bohereen - the definitive urban bohereen. WORD
The Flesk. Tralee doesn't have rivers or M&S's or real lakes. Funny cos its true
The Poly - Wha???? Never heard of this
Muckross Road isnt Muckross Road - and the High Court says so :rolleyes:
College Street - named after the St Brendans apparently0 -

The golden gates were originally golden in colour.
There is an old tunnel that runs under the road to the house across the way on the roundabout. you can still see the entrance to the tunnel it is covered by concrete,
Go in the golden gates take the path that goes straight (not the one that veers to the right) take the left turn and keep going over to the wall, you will see to the left before the wall a path that goes left alongside the closed off garden, the entrance is up there0
