Best of luck to them.Kilsheelan still only a village though popluation has increased in the past few years.Lots of traffic passing through the village to Waterford will help as some will stop for a break I'm sure.

Hopefully it will be of benefit to the people using the Blueway - if they advertise it I’m sure they will get plenty of interest.

While going around the Showgrounds Shopping centre, it is noticeable the great efforts those running the place and the various businesses have made re: hygiene and social distancing.

But then, outside Easons two things stick out like a sore, unclean thumb...

The Peppa Pig merry go round thing and the Lotto stand, complete with well thumbed lotto slips and two pens to mark them with.

While I sat in BBs Coffee Shop I saw three groups of children come and use Peppa Pig over a 30 minute period. No cleaning of the thing took place between these groups of children.

2 individuals used the Lotto stand. I didn't see anyone from Eason come out to wipe down the pens in that time.

Am I missing something here? Surely those two things should be taken away.
It makes a bit of a mockery of all the other (expensive) measures the Showgrounds have taken.

Well, it's just that it's not practical for attendants to go around cleaning up after us. They can do their best by providing hand sanitisers and perspex barriers and whatnot, but at the end of the day, it's our responsibility to wash and sanitise our hands.

I saw a guy picking up packets of refrigerated meat a few weeks ago, having a look & a think, and putting them back, and I felt like saying 'would you stop pawing everything?' But after reminding myself that I'm not the Guards, remembered that it's my job to clean my hands.

I think as I'm typing something obvious like that it makes me sound passive-aggressive, which isn't the way I intend it. It's a normal reaction to want to see store furniture being cleaned, but there's a limit to what they can do.

The peppa pig yoke and the horsey thing are totally unnecessary though. I wouldn’t expect anyone to be cleaning them, They should just be removed altogether for the foreseeable. Tbh, even pre covid they got on my wick. My two yr old loves them, I can’t walk past them but he’s trying to bust out of the buggy to get at them.

It would be great if supermarkets didn’t put out manky looking meat to begin with!

They always have Kilsheelan Village looking great with flowers etc.. - a nice stop along the Blueway.

Indeed, we are so lucky to have such a lovely spot so close. We tend to take the area around us for granted and pine for foreign parts, but the Blueway walk in either direction from Kilsheelan is just beautiful.

Anyone have any dealings with Tipp coco over Complaints regarding unruly Council tennents. They moved a traveller family into lovely house in Cascade park and since then. They've broken lockdown regulation haveing a big party. That was back when people weren't supposed to even go outside. Garda called three times that night. They've had their door kicked in by the drugs squad and drugs found in the house. Riding quad bikes all over the green areas. People are complaining but the council seem to be ignoring it.

He only did that for attention / marketing. He knew they would close him down - IMO the guards have better things to do than police notoriety seekers like him.

On the other hand, if the Clerihan pub is still open he is doing it quietly and keeping his head down - smart man.

Has a local caterer providing food. Just as well as a meal is apparently as good as a vaccine for Covid especially if it’s a €9 one.

That's not what I heard. I was told he's microwaving Aldi dinners. Mind you it's at least third hard info so could very well be a load of bull.

`Where did the government get the €9 from? Its an odd amount, pardon the pun. And what does it matter whether they are eating or just drinking? They could order chips and never eat them? Odd

Eating might be to slow absorption of alcohol, so be less drunk, less likely to be messing breaking social distance

He wouldn't be the only pub in the country doing that. Even before Covid-19.

The original Intoxicating Liqour Act 1962 stipulates that a substantial meal in a pub that doesn’t normally serve food should reasonably cost five shillings, which was updated in 2003 by then Minister for Justice Michael McDowell to reflect the equivalent value in modern currency — €9.

Fitzy is open. Use to be the Manor. He couldn't give a ****. Fri to Sun I think. Guys that are renting pubs might be gone in a few months anyway so they couldn't care less about the licence being objected to.

From the outside (cos I wouldn't be going in) he seemed to be doing it up a bit some months ago.
