    I believe a tapas restaurant is going into the old auctioneers building on the corner of Parnell St and Nelson St.

    now open. Doesn't seem to be tapas though.

    Anyone been in Quigleys, the new café on the corner of O'Connell Street and Bridge Street. I popped in today, looks like a lovely spot. I hope they do well.

    I've been in their café in Kilkenny a few times, it was very nice. Too nice!

    Thanks for that, that's the place I was thinking of. A bit on the expensive side for me, but a few interesting items on the menu.

    The desserts look like they're working too hard at being trendy for me. None of that alcohol and berries newfangled falballa for me thank you very much.:)

    I hear O'Donnells pub on O' Connell street is to become a wine bar?
    I heard that a relative of the family that have Lonergans has bought O' Donnells, apparently she/he is (or was) based in the US.

    I use Gerry Kaar on the Western Road. Fantastic manner and has never pushed extra work on me.

    Thanks for that. Went to him earlier this week. Great guy, very upfront and open. Lovely manner. Very satisfied with the work! Thanks again.

    That's it there's only the same amount of customers to go around at the end of the day.
    A new establishment will have the lions share for a while.
    Don't think I'd rush out and buy a pub though :-)

    Wasn't there a fire there ?? Thought that's why it closed down, if I am right it would possibly cost a packet to get it to opening stage, Gerry Chawkes would be a good buy though !!!

    I'd say that you would need to put a lot of money in to Chawkes if you wanted to do the job properly. It has gone downhill a lot in recent years and any Saturday night I have been in there in the last 2-3 years, it was very quiet with only 10 or 12 people.
    They could put the swimming pool up on the roof again !!

    You are right about the fire..I would say it would cost a lot to get it back to what it was,well smoke damage,was how they described it.The prego pizza next door,is part of the sale,that has smoke damage as well..

    Who owns or Is responsible for the old Mart on the Davis road? I witnessed three men exiting from there this morning via a little gap under the large advertising board that is displayed in to top part of the dunes stores car park. They appear to be sleeping rough in there

    And if you have 5 million euro in an old biscuit tin you can buy the Clonmel Park Hotel , as it's up for sale as well.

    Selling now before the Clonmel Arms is redeveloped and reopened and a hard Brexit materializes. That's smart. Lots of hotel owners got seriously burned in the last economic collapse and in the months before that crisis happened the news was full of hotels changing hands every week. Clever investors are again jumping ship and selling to suckers rather than waiting for the Brexit storm to hit.

    Seriously....an abandoned mart ?
    If that's the best they have to live in then I do have sympathy for them...health and safety & insurance considerations are hardly your business anyway !!!
