No, I'm pretty much bald. Why do you ask? Do you think Beanz On Toast are a metal band or something?

IMO it's a great place for a nite out, some of the best pubs around,good nite club and even more importantly good people, just out to have a good time and really know how to enjoy themselves!But the only way is to find out for your self, you go for it, you wont be sorry.
BTW, have you noticed all the negative posts are from people that don't actually live there.

Great to see that we are back on topic & fair play to Lumo22 who is replying to the OP's original question & avoided the biggoted remarks of the few narrowminded contributors.

Couple of friends of the missus were at the Meat Loaf tribute band & said that it was a great nite out.

Actually none of the remarks are bigoted. They just paint a realistic image of the town. The reason we don't live in Dunmore is because we don't fcuking want to. Christ, I know the town well enough to realise it is a dump, a place that time has forgot and that is mainly down to the people who live there. So why would anyone want to join them??

I have a relation living in that town & she was part of a major fundraising project that raised funds from their local community for a state of the art childrens play ground - it is a credit to the people of Dunmore. It is there nearly a year & not one bit of vandalism evident - unlike many towns accross Ireland.
It is disappointing to read your opinions above on behalf of the "we" ... you do not speak on behalf of me or many, I'm sure.

The playground actually only opened and became accessible about three months ago....time will tell. The rugby dug-outs nearby had to be knocked just weeks before due to the worst of the worst antisocial behaviour being based there.

Trouble is that your googled definition doesn't make Dunmore a more pleasing place in which to socialise. A typical case of shooting the messenger.

The googled definition is the same as all definitions for this word - What's your point?

The remarks made by some contributers(or "messengers") including your good self are rather bigotted, especially as you all have failed to qualify/back up these remarks on your experiences socialising in Dunmore.
Why?....Because you are obstinately or intolerantly devoted to your own opinions and prejudices.

Christ, you must work for Bord Failte. Only someone who is being paid could talk up Dunmore!

Just accentuating the positive & defending the social fabric of a town that has unfairly being assasinated with these comments. (I have no connections to the town, only that I can remember having many a cracking night out in Dunmore as a young fella when people from far & wide travelled to Dunmore every Friday & Saturday night).

Love a good debate though where points & opinions are made constructively & fairly in an adult like manner.:)

That was then but this is now. In order to enlighten yourself aboutthe state of Dunmore, you could do with paying it a visit now rather than waffling on about times past.

I gave you my views on the night life as asked for by the OP.

However if you want to know about my experiences during the day time then:
I recently brought my kids to the new community park in Dunmore which is really nice, we had a nice feed in the Chinese accross the road from it & then afterwards watched the last 30 mins of a Liverpool V Man Utd game in a near by public house. Great sociable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Oh did I mention that they have a fantastic market day every August as part of their annual festival - many people from far & wide go for the pleasant experience.
Going forward, I may check out their highly recommended golf course (see earlier post)...greens fees are suppose to be very reasonable.

Good night Irene, I don't like to talking to waflers like your good self...grow up & move on.:D

You're contradicting yourself by being narrowminded... I thought that was pretty obvious... :rolleyes:

I don't, but I know a lot of people who do and they hate the place.
As for going out, I think the 14-16 years old age group thinks it's a serious place for going out.

I stand to be corrected though, I'm sticking to Tuam for going out.

tis well i remember the Macra discos in the town hall. Pjs is probably still the disco to go to if you are over 16.
Frenches of Monivea used to be the place to go (about 20 years ago)

Probably the most narrow minded little backwater in County Galway. No, not a good place for going out. As for living there? I would sooner have my toenails burned off.

like anywhere it depends on who you know there or more importantly who you piss off

Dunmore=depressing depressing depressing Tuam is like New York in comparison.
Smaller places like Milltown and Claregalway have much more to offer.

dumore has very few travellers, which is a major plus.

i like the place because I am into archaeology and there is a lot to see there.

you have to admit though that the road there at the piper reilly is a bit of a joke, hardly wide enough for a carthorse and juggernauts go past.

It is wide enough for two cars to pass each other, it's a road that really highlights some peoples complete lack of knowledge of their car. You see some people stopped in a panic despite having more than enough room to pass, it really annoys me when people don't even know something as basic as how wide their car is.

PJs is one of the worlds biggest kips, it's a complete rip off and that's why nobody but under-age kids go to it.
