    Kiddies Kutz (the children's hairdressers inside Mothercare) closed down in April I believe. An awful shame; the lady there was fantastic with kids.

    Which was possibly part of the problem, that people maybe weren't aware of its existence - come to think of it, I don't recall ever having seen it advertised anywhere other than on a board in the Mothercare shop entrance.

    Was that on the Quay Street side? Further indication of the horrible layout of the place. Where most people only usually only use it as a short cut to the rest of the centre. Have rarely met anyone walking through that section, or going in or out of them few units.

    I see LBees in Johnson's Court is closing. I know it is part of Cordoners but an empty unit in JC.

    The Sligo Today website is down. Maybe they are changing domains?

    It's gone!
    The owner died a few weeks ago.
    To be honest, I found it to be far from impartial jounalism.

    Does anyone know what the story with Henderson’s garage is on the Bundoran Road? I drove past it yesterday and everything was gone?! I’m due a service there next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,917 ✭✭✭red sean


    Closing/closed as far as I know. Porter Ford, new dealership opening in Castlebaldwin.

    It's not closing down. They lost the Ford franchise and cars were being taken away during last week. They have a contract to service all the vehicles they had already sold.

    If he's dead, then its not being maintained obviously.

    Yes but it might be worth checking out the old photos before the site eventually disappears.

    Some nice ones of various events in Sligo and the north west over the past 10 years or so.

    archive.org have scraped the site so should it go offline you can still get the info

    Thank you for that link. May he rest in peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,809 ✭✭✭✭Andy From Sligo


    met Ciaran once last year - pleasant man , friendly. I know people are entitled to their own opinions and views but i thought it a bit off someone on here criticising him of his reporting ... and so close after his death , a bit dis-respectful thats my view - I personally liked his news page and his style of reporting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,931 ✭✭✭dingding


    Indeed Ciaran was one of lifes gentlemen. RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,949 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Worked alongside him and one stage on a hot desk in the BIC.. in an environment where people keep to themselves, it was refreshing that he came over and introduced himself almost immediately. Very nice guy. RIP!

    Update to above!

    Henderson Ford ceased trading Friday 27th July according to a letter we got from them today. They must have been telling porkies or telling their staff porkies to keep everyone quiet....

    That’s sad, they have been there for generations! How many were employed there?

    I hope Homebase's sligo store will be safe from closure ....
