    hi lads,

    i had a interesting telephone call with Fingal council road division last Monday when the road closed first.
    The first guys said there was no plan to close the roads. Nothing. zippa.
    The second guy never heard of it. Asked where. why who was closing the road and ask me to get all them details and ring them back.
    The third guy, after i said i wasn't happy the above answer. Told me that to contact Sheamus Mongan. i'll post number tomorrow. But hes never responded.

    I have a sneaky suspision that they have no permissino to close the road and council are turning a blind eye,.

    The Fingal Independent had a FCC Road Closure notice about the above road closures in mid Sept edition. FCC as yet have failed to add it to their road closures section on their website. Seems its more a case of the righthand not having a clue about what the lefthand is doing. Not very efficient that 3 of them could not direct you to this information.

    EDIT:It took some digging as they didn't have it on the Road Closure page but in the advertisement section but I found a copy of the notice that was in the Fingal Indo.

    Okay got a phone call this morning put I wasn't here to take it say my dad took it. It was a woman who told him I was to have a job interview on October 15nth (next Wednesday) in the Bracken Court Hotel in Balbriggan.

    The thing is, I don't know if it is for the Tesco in Rush or the one in Balbriggan as I sent a CV in there a while back also.

    I'd imagine it is for the one in Balbriggan as I wouldn't think they are conducting interviews for the Tesco in rush at this stage. Was just wondering if anyone got a call for an interview for the Tesco in rush?

    The interviews are taking place in The Bracken Court Hotel in Balbriggan all of next week for the new store in Rush.
    I imagine the length of time people are being told to allow (and the location) is due to the amount of applicants etc.
    Good luck to everyone next week, see yiz there :)

    they know i work they asked how much notice would i have to give if i left my current job, so that shouldnt be a problem.
    i was told for tesco in balbriggan there interviews where two hours and were put into groups for some tasks or something.
    wondering what should i wear for this interview ?

    Your PPS Number will tell them nothing about your current work status.

    However I would recommend anyone applying for any job makes sure any information on their CV is accurate and complete. You will not do yourself any favours trying to withhold or hide any relevant information, as there are companies that specifically check job applications against information gathered from other sources

    I got a call from Tesco on Monday asking about work hours etc... and they said they'd ring me again within two weeks. But if they're doing interviews next week, what are the chances they'll bother calling me? :/

    I doubt it. I think that they are telling candidates to expect the whole process to take up to two hours. I doubt very much if you'll be sitting across the table from the interviewers being grilled for 2 hours.

    They probably have more than one round of interviews. Hang tight.

    Its fairly straightforward really.you do a group interview and then do a task within the group which is fun

    then ya do your interview with 2 people. One asks qs while the other writes stuff down.

    Its not so bad i taught there would be more questions than there was and more in depth but its straightforward

    gd luck

    When's the store opening? I noticed Spar doing a bit of a revamp these past few days. I thought they were just going to roll over and die but from the outside it seems like they're going to try and compete. However without a SERIOUS drop in prices, I can't see that working too well.

    I heard a staff member in Spar, saying that the revamp was to incorporate a new coffee shop.

    heard that too.

    Might do well the town is lacking a few coffee shops.

    Lets hope spar improve on their services issues , its an awful shop to get served at times.Loads of empty tills while everyone has to get served at the sweet counter.

    Yeah, more likely 28th of November. I couldn't see them finishing the build and kitting it out in the next 8 days.

    Hope it's all worth it in the end, as traffic has been absolute hell in the mornings, due to all of the road closures.
    Chapel green seems to be open again as of today though.
    Every little helps

    In general I agree with you but I have heard 2 people say only in the last few days that Thursday is the day to buy stuff in Spar. They do a lot of Thursday specials, like 2 for the price of 1, 33% extras and 25% off. My wife goes in and reckons if you know what you want and dont just buy for the sake of it there can be good value in it. Supervalue do similar deals but most people (like me) dont have a lot of discipilne when the they go shopping.

    Dont like the attidtude of some of their staff who are just plain rude, especially towards older people. Might be lost in the way they speak English but I complained a few times in the past when I saw this happening to my late mother. A few of the old reliables are very nice to deal with and most helpful.

    Drove around Chapel green this evening and I doubt if they are finished, unless they are going to resurface the road as it appears like they only roughly covered in where they have been working. It is a disaster driving around the town at the moment.
    At the moment there are roadworks on
    • Channel Rd
    • Sandy Rd
    • Chapel Green
    • The Brook
    • Park Rd
    • Whitestown Rd
    • Kilbush Lane
    Where next?



    28th of November I heard is the offical opening.
