Clonmel Thread

ohh... while looking at Gladstone street on Google streetview I just realized the picture was taken in June 2017.

Trying to find myself now just in case. No luck so far. :pac:

Yeah it was tiny. Maybe where Benetton used to be ? Although in my head it's nearer the post house.

The Salad Bowl?

Does anyone know when it closed as a post office? I moved to Clonmel in 1986 and I'm pretty sure the post office was in its present position then.

But then I see that the new library opened in 1987, and I wonder if they both came together.

http://www.eplanning.ie/TipperaryCC/AppFileRefDetails/PA4787/0   is a refused planning app at the post house from 1987 so it must have been closed as a PO in 87 or before
. http://www.eplanning.ie/TipperaryCC/AppFileRefDetails/PA1588/0 is the app to make it a bookshop in 1988
you can see the current post office building in 1987  here http://www.rte.ie/archives/2017/0426/870508-clonmel-library/  but was it the PO then?

Maybe it's just in my head, but I thought there was a partition even as it was a bookshop with a post counter behind.
I came to Clonmel first around October '95.

I don’t remember that but it’s quiet possible. There used to be a cafe upstairs when it was a bookshop, I seem to remember there being a music shop in part of it too, it was the place where I bought my CD, Technoheads I wanna be a hippy, thought it was deadly at the time but knowing what it’s about now, I doubt my parents were so happy.

could not have been a  bookshop with post counter as the planning application was "to change the use of ground floor from post office to bookshop". There was a coffee shop upstairs

Has anyone else noticed the yes campaign posters seem to have been placed very low on lamp posts around town. Way too easy to get at and be pulled down.

It wasnt me123

I had noticed. I think they are more at eye level - makes them easier to be seen.

A lot of them have been removed, which is a shame but I think the council have done some of them. They are meant to be 2.5m from ground level AFAIK and not allowed on junctions.
The Yes launch was on Monday in Park Hotel, really great event. Alan Kelly, Seamus Healy and Pat English attended. Another TD was in the hotel but refused to come. Cough, Casino, Cough.
If anyone is interested in getting involved there's a Tipp Together for Yes FB page.

I did notice that the No campaign were putting the most awful posters (huge picture of a dead baby on 15 foot billboards) I have ever seen on the bypass yesterday and a woman who I assume was a yes voter if not campaigner was angrily shouting at them.

I think this is going to be a very nasty campaign.

Where was that touts??
Those images are so unnecessary. And entirely misleading too.
I would have shouted at him too tbh!

It caused a big traffic jam coming down the Cashel hill last week, (Wed, Thursday can't quite remember). The Guards were on scene as well .

A bit of desperation from the No side, they seem to have a big hill to climb to win.

I'm biased as I'm part of a group on the Yes side but I hope so!
Apparently they had a similar thing parked in the square in Cahir during the week and Mattie stuck in the middle of it 🙄

Clonmel Veteran, Vintage, & Classic Car Club will be hosting the 9th Annual Autojumble and Display in Powerstown Park tomorrow and Sunday (5 and 6 May). The Vintage Run is on Saturday (no time is provided on the flyer I have). On Sunday, the "Show and Autojumble" kicks off at noon. There'll be rally cars, cars from the 1900's, retro classics, motorbikes, tractors, and so on. There'll be a children's play area, trade stalls, and food/drink stalls. The first prize in the raffle is a '00 reg BMW Z3, second is a couple of nights in Hotel Minella, third is €100. Proceeds from the day go to Family Carers Ireland.

Anyone know much about Believe to Achieve? Would you recommend? I've lost about 10 stone through diet and need to tone up and get fit. Still look fat tho and have another 5 stone to lose. I don't want to go somewhere where it's all skinny people who will be laughing at me. I've also some injuries and can't be doing full on cross fit stuff either. Several people thought B2A might help me. Also curious about cost. Any insight much appreciated.

Dewdropdeb - I don't know so much about B2A but I go to the Phoenix gym across the road from it. It is cross fit, but you should go in to the lads and have a chat with them, they are very approachable, and will help you achieve your goals. They work with people with different injuries all the time, and if there is an excercise you are not comfortable with they will change it for one you can do. I do classes there, and yes like every gym there are plenty of toned fit women there, but that's cos they have been doing it a long time. I am 55 plus, and I am quite happy to be last at whatever we are doing, you are still doing more than someone sat at home on the couch. Dan, PAddy and Colin will help you out. Nothing to lose!! (Pardon the pun)

Phoenix you can pay by class (10e), week (30e unlimited classes), month (75 unlimited classes - this is what I do), quarter, six months or year.

Big congratulations on the work you've done. I need to follow your example.

I see planning permission to retain and improve the late lamented Kamboat restaurant on the quay. Licensed restaurant in the application.

Been a while since I came in to Clonmel from the Tesco side..It used to be 50k per hour before the Fethard road roundabout..It didnt go to 60k until after the Cashel road roundabout....I see today it is 60k before the Fethard road roundabout..So is it 60k on the link road between the Fethard /Cashel road roundabouts...

I see Mass is back in the Greyhound track again this July. Speaking to a few people I know, it brought some badly needed money into both the greyhound track and the immediate locality.

It seemed to be a very well run event last year with little disruption to the area, with any luck the town could host a few more music events in the future. I recently seen a country music festival up the country which was jam packed, I know not everyone is into country but its definitely a start. Venues such as the greyhound track and maybe even Powerstown would be ideal for such events. It would be great to get some life back into the town.

I objected to this strongly last year before it happened as I was living very close to it but as a resident less than 200 metres from it, i barely heard it and it didn't impact on my day/night at all. I emailed the organisers to say that it was well run and my initial reservations were incorrect. I told them then that if it was run the same way in the future I wouldn't object.

I've now moved so its mute for me but I agree that anything that attracts cash to the town is a good thing.

Is there anything to be said for another mass
