Dermot was the guy alright, thought of it afterward last night.Died suddenly was a nice guy.

remembered the carnival in lisduggan,

Remember the opening of St Pauls church in 1972.

Gay Byrne performed the opening of the 'Waterford Shopping Centre' in Lisduggan.

Went to school in St Pauls primary in the early '70s and used to have to cross what was then a halting site for 'tinkers' as we knew them then.:eek:

Who remembers what was in where John Palmers music shop is now..was formerly John O'Neill and daughters carpets....which was unique in description, was Clifford and O Neill Carpets before that.

The 'Sports Shop' on the quay owned by Chestnutts.

real haven!;)

I worked for a time in Byrnes Butchers both in Lisduggan and in the one in the back of Darrers..liquid lunches in Egans on fridays:D

Naw - this was one of those small terraced buildings on the way up to Heerys and Strand Electric. It was upstairs and was one small room with VHS videos on the wall circa '85/'86. It's not Sinnotts either! There was another video library back down at the corner a few years later - different one again.

It was called Video World, if it was the one above Solitaire jewelers.
