I think a Tapas Restaurant, using the same standard as The Yard, will sell itself no bother. I can't wait to try it. Word will spread quickly if it is good

Well, i've only been at a couple of them, but the place was fairly full both times.

It was actually a really nice night. Very relaxed.. and I could have a coffee/ hot chocolate without looking wierd.

I had been to a couple of them also. They did some great wines there.

But my god the heat

pass by the red chair all the time on my way home and they are usually always packed out the door literally! Some nights are quieter but nearly always a good crowd!

O Neills on the main street gutted inside and work going on in there late into the night, whole place is opened up. big space.

Also seen a mini jcb in corrys tonight and people starting work in there, late at night.

McLoughlin

A rather unwelcomed addition to Wexford Shops this week as a small group of squatters have moved into the Dunnes Stores site on Wexford's main street.

Really? Must check that out later.

Management and Security in Redmond Square talking about it yesterday evening Dunnes are not that happy about it.

No signs of life when I passed by yesterday afternoon, twice. But then it is a big place.

Observed this week;

Scaffolding up the front of the former O'Neill's shop opposite Cairrig Donn on Wexford's South Main Street and loads of banging and crashing inside.

The Click computer shop has moved from North Main Street opposite St.Iberius Church to the premises in Key West formerly occupied by McNamara's Pharmacy (I was told the original franchisee is also no longer involved in the venture but don't know the veracity of that).

Work continues in Uncle Sam's on South Main Street to repair the damage caused by the upstairs fire.

Remodelling work in the right hand unit on Paul Quay (to the left of the car park entrance) so somebody's deffo opening up in there.

Ted_YNWA

Any idea what is going into O'Neills ?

Saw scaffolding there this morning.

McLoughlin

Does anyone think The Bullring market should be open everyday at least during the summer ?

Saw some tourists walking around there this week and seems a waste having those huts empty.

RadioRetro

I agree, McLoughlin, and no idea, Ted.

WexfordWarrior

well the planning permission notice is finally up on the staffords building on paul quay. The permission application says they're applying for extra retail space on the ground floor and also using the reception lobby area as part of the shop. the complete retail floor space will be 2,645 sq.m

Also there will be "three projecting new bus stop signs" , one on paul quay, one on oyster lane and one on the corner of paul quay and osyter lane. TK Maxx must be about to start work in there

hammering and all sorts going on in corrys yesterday afternoon when i passed also, so all going well we should have 3 more decent additions during the summer

Brilliant! The first time I used Parcel Motel, I had to time my order to coincide with a work trip to Dublin and sweat about whether it would actually arrive on time. Now I just need to walk up the road. Its a fab service.

The door was open when I passed the other day - they're stripping the place back to the brickwork and have demolished sections of the rear wall.

vicwatson

New chipper in Talbot Green I heard? Mr Tj's or something like that??

Thought there used to be one already there?

Corvo

Anything happening with either of the now vacant banks? Permanent TSB or the one across from Hamiltons?

I imagine there is plenty of space in TSB especially and would make for a great location for a store or food place.

RadioRetro

The TSB building is up for sale.

In other news, Uncle Sam's chipper on South Main Street re-opened yesterday after the damage caused by the fire upstairs was repaired and the interior refitted.

There was but the chippers around that neck of the woods change hands every so often for various reasons.
