The newly refurbished house between Bradys and Manor Cabs now has a sign in the window for 'Willow and Wild' https://www.willowandwild.ie/

Also a Facebook page for it showing some of the progress https://www.facebook.com/willowandwild/

It looks like it will be lovely renovation. Despite all the cafes in Maynooth, I still think there's a market for another which serves really good quick bites and lunches.

Great spot for a café, looking forward to it.

Looks interesting. I like that they will be using seasonal produce and local sources. I'll be giving it a try anyway.

The renovation job looks well, glad to see they are being sympathetic to the building and local and organic is big plus for me. I'll be paying a visit for sure.

Also glad to see they have their website up and running for launch. I'm still waiting for Bistro 53 to get one. I find it crazy when restaurants aren't online these days or expect people to trawl through their Facebook pages looking for opening times and prices or menus located in the photos albums. I know Bistro 53 have missed out on many bookings and parties from friends and family simply because its been easier to look up the neighbouring restaurants on a computer.

The Treatment Room is moving from above Maynooth Cabs to above Three Pin Electrical/The Brewery.

Bloody hell - who is this?
Ear candling is dangerous and should be illegal as it is in the US and Canada.
Quantum Coherence Therapy is made up nonsense.
And some of the things they say they can treat include Malposition of fetus correction of, Induction of labour - Anyone who lets someone like this near a pregnant woman needs their head examined - with candles.

i see he treats Pertussis too - what's the betting he's an antivaxxer?

Shop planning permission update:

Bistro 53 extension (or second restaurant, not sure) refused planning.

Permission notice in the Champion for a takeaway (which will be refused, basically) on Buckleys Lane.

Thai at Greenfield has gone to a further info request; and The Range had a further info request which they replied to last week

Orion

Didn't Bistro have 2 separate applications in? One for a restaurant and one for residential? Or did I dream that?

You seem to have a self righteous patronising opinion on everything, from the top of my head, you have slandered the Roost staff on this thread without giving any good reason and also passed some scathing smart arse remarks about Dr. Wilson in the Leinster clinic. And now this. Insufferable vitriol is all it comes across as.

Nothing he's said there is untrue.

All those "treatments" are pseudoscientific nonsense and a number of them are potentially dangerous for the 'patients'

The remarks about Neville Wilson were also scientifically founded - he has been spreading dangerous nonsense online at the very least.

People who take advantage of the unwell with this crap are insufferable.

One treatment was said to be potentially dangerous, the ear candling. Quantum coherence therapy is hardly dangerous. There are lots of other treatments available that are age old medical practices with high success rates. Neither of you mentioned those, the testimonials are there to see. I don't believe in most of the stuff but i do not judge with such vitriol as Orion does. The same applies to Dr. Wilson, I believe he does a lot of good work, why not credit that.

In addition to ear candling, allowing someone medically untrained to attempt to "correct" "malposition" (presumably diagnosed by them alone) of a foetus is ridiculously dangerous.

Testimonials = people for whom the placebo effect was sufficient. None of these treatments work, they are all pseudoscientific nonsense, preying on the vulnerable and desperate.

Wilson is an anti-vaxxer who is potentially damaging the health of people who fall for his guff; and others by eliminating herd immunity benefits.

If you don't judge the charlatans and the psuedo-science mongers harshly, innocent people get hurt.

I wouldn't agree with Dr Wilson's stance on vaccinations but I will say that he correctly diagnosed me after almost a year of me going back repeatedly to my doctor and seeing a specialist and getting no answers. For that I will always be grateful.
He was the only one who was willing to listen to me when I said something was wrong and didn't just write it off as me being run down.

Because he is endangering lives with his antivax nonsense. He has actually stated that the CDC, WHO and EMA are in a global conspiracy to push dangerous vaccines. He believes Wakefield was right about MMR and autism. He has advised patients not to allow their daughters get the HPV vaccine. He's a danger to people so I don't see the need to credit anything else.

I also said nice things about the new cafe beside Brady's - why not credit that? Or do you have a bee in your bonnet about something?

And which of it is incorrect?

It was the Roost that turned away travellers attending a conference in Maynooth with the President of the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. My own experience of staff in there has been negative also.
Dr. Wilson endangers lives with his antivax stance. That's not a smart arse remark - it's a statement of fact.
And ear candling is dangerous and ineffective and is illegal in some countries. The Hopi people, who Boisun say invented this, have said it's never been a part of their culture and have asked repeatedly to have their tribe name removed from the brand.

So again - what's incorrect with what I said?

I never said QCT is dangerous. I said it's nonsense. Try reading my post.
I also didn't say ear candling is potentially dangerous. I said it is dangerous. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8849790

Wow, that's a little harsh. I was a patient and he didn't want to administer vaccines, he did engage me in conversation and encouraged me to investigate it rather than just do it. I did investigate it, I disagreed with him and got my kid vaccinated.

I do know families who sing his praises, I too would sing his praises. I have first hand experience from my hypothyroidism, he was so far ahead of some consultant endocrinologists it's amazing. I liked that he kept up to date with research and methods. The Irish medical standard that applied to me was to throw more and more of one drug at the problem until it goes away, that did not work for me, Wilson discussed the issue with me, and recent research, got me on different meds that did the job and got me back to normal.

It's not harsh in the slightest. Antivaxxers cost lives. They are the reason almost eradicated diseases like measles are having a resurgence and killing children. They are the reason that HPV vaccine uptake has dropped to 50% and it is estimated that 40 women will die as a result.

This "just asking questions" tactic is just another form of lying along the lines of "do your research". Scientists and medical professionals worldwide have done the research that you or I cannot do using google and facebook. By encouraging you to investigate it it placed a seed of doubt in your mind - once that seed is there in enough people it becomes dangerous. He specifically advised someone I know to not allow his daughter to get the vaccine.

Have a look at the attached article that shows the special kind of crazy that is our Dr. Wilson. He states that about the CDC etc in there. He also says that Wakefield is misunderstood. So no - I don't consider it harsh to judge someone who is costing lives.

I'm glad he helped you but as I already said I find his antivax stance unacceptable and is a contributing factor to people dying.

When you posted in this thread and called all the staff in the roost **** without stating a reason, that was a good bit before the traveler incident but you're probably a clairvoyant aswell.

The Range has been granted planning for the old Tesco building; however it seems to be for 5 years only - the existing building was to be demolished to build the remains of the original Carton Park plan. It does leave it open to get this extended in future but it may be sufficient to scare them away.

Saw that. Awful shame. Lovely guys - and we've spent way to much money there over the years. Can't help wondering if moving from their old shop to the current location is a factor in that? No footfall but they would get most of their custom from word of mouth anyway.

What do you mean 5 years? Planning permission doesn't have a shelf life does it? I mean for usage - obviously you have to break ground inside the 5 years of that permissions.

The building is meant to be demolished; they've been told they can use it for 5 years before it is demolished; with the possibility of asking for more time. Docs are up, 17/237 is the file.

They often beat Thomann on price, it depends on what you are buying.

I am sad to see them going as we are regulars there but nice ot see people moving on too.

Got lunch in Beetroot today, absolutely beautiful food.

It seems to be all vegetarian with some vegan stuff. They have some lovely soups and the veg lasagne was gorgeous too.

It's down the alley beside Donatellos and Maynooth Cabs.

Yeh it's nice. I got one the pot stews before. Took it home and put chicken in it. Grand job!

The carrot & coriander soup I had there needed rather a lot of salt; probably because its made with less deliberately admittedly. Luckily there was a pile of salt packets from McDonalds in the car...

ixus

Personally hate salt in soup. Ruins it. Same with sugar in tea. Go without for a while and you won't go back.
