    Heard work going on last evening in a corner unit at Henry St./ Windmill St. (next door to Sextons' Bar and across street from Subway).

    Was a bookie shop up to last year, don't know what the new occupant has planned, anyone hear anything?

    A proper hostel for tourists? We really need one of those, we could get the backpackers tourists.

    That was the word the last few years. Haven't heard much lately about it.

    It's re-opening as the Library. The lads who went in and started running the office are going to be running it and Vinny McMahon will be back running the office.

    Not sure if its a great move by them. The big pull in the office is the outdoor smoking area with live music. There is no smoking area in the cornmarket bar and you have to go out the front for a fag.

    Hopefully they will retain what the Office is like at the moment with the live bands etc. I really like the way that whole area has turned into the night life part of the city.

    I always thought that womens carpark between Ellen St and Robert St should be turned into a new street containing a few restaurants, cafes and pubs. You would have a cracking area then from almost the granary up to the icon. Probably not the population to support it, but it would be an area then to rival anything in templebar or Galway.

    Speaking of Pubs. I know somebody looking for a pub to lease in the city centre. The Still House size of a premises. I thought The Office might be up for lease because they were moving but alas that won't work.

    Anybody know anything? There's a lot for sale but not for leasing.

    The Northstar, and The Bitterend(Foxy's) are available to lease.
    The selection of advertised pubs available to lease is in the main quite poor, but if you get your friend to have a talk to an auctioneer about what he is after he may get some more leads(Gordon Kearney would be a good start.)

    I have heard a rumour of another premises being available soon too but if you want info on that one drop me a P.M as it would be unsubstantiated speculation on this thread(No matter how good my source)
    A lot of bars are available to lease at the moment, but not advertised.
    The sales and lease market has been very very skewed by the banks over the last few years as I'm sure your aware.

    The North Star is the wrong neighbourhood for his type of bar and having been it it recently it would need more than a lot of work.

    Foxys/Nevada Smiths is just too big for him. He wanted a Still house sized bar and his current bar, elsewhere in the country, is this size.

    I'll drop you a PM.

    Is there a new store opening on Sarsfield St. (opposite Debenhams) sometime soon?

    Noticed a huge sign there y'day for the first time for a Nursery Store called Funky Baby....:confused:

    There is a €2 shop opening in the Castletroy SC, and it looks like there is some activity in the old bookshop next door to it too.

I have been searching everyday in the Crescent shopping Centre for information on how to apply for work with the new JDsports that is soon opening in the shopping centre. I would really appreciate if you could help me understand and find what i am trying to look and apply for. thank you!
