The speciality ice-cream chain, which is owned by Dunkin’ Brands of Dunkin Donuts fame, is set to open stores in both Ireland and Northern Ireland as it seeks to grow its presence in Europe.

Among the areas it has in mind are Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford/Wexford and Belfast. Initially, there will be five shops in the Republic, with three in the North.

Was down in the new McLearys the other night. Absolutely fantastic. Well done to Ken and Kevin. A credit to them both.

Waterford United can only move up the league table.

1. A proper four lane road to Limerick
2 A proper four lane road to Cork

They can be dual carriageways but to be four lane.

It's the only city now not properly connected.

Anyone drive from Cork/Limerick to Galway?

Politicians in Waterford are not worth a cent of their salaries..


Infrastructure brings jobs - end of.

And PLEASE do not go on about the motorway to Dublin...it isn't enough

Winterval is brilliant, city centre has never looked so good.

Lismore named Bord Failtes best small tourism town, it is an absolutely amazing place, on your doorstep, lots to be proud of in this county, who needs Killarney when you have Lismore down the road

Only if people forget it was the people who dug the country out of a hole and not the TD's.

Ps. Winterval is excellent. Well done.

After intense competition from other counties Waterford has been chosen to house up to 100 Syrians refugees.

GIY ground breaking ceremony today...I think this has great potential for tour buses etc, will be brilliant when its up and running. Grow your own (veg and other food, not the other stuff)

Weather keeps up like this and the only thing they'll be growing is rice.

good to see work starting on extension to courthouse/old fire station demolition. Think this is a substantial job and will last for well over a year.

Morris’s has applied for planning permission for a revamp of their site with new retail units. Witherspoon’s have also submitted their application. Developments like these are a good sign of the economic health of the city.

Noticed what looked like work happening inside the old Aviva office on the quay, anyone know more?

Ranked cleanest Irish city for last year.

We have, by far, the most useless TD's in the country.

Looks like they are putting a roof terrace in as part of the planning application. This will bring some life to an important part of town and it's good to see the nightlife in general spreading out from the John Street district.

Any news on the city square redevelopment yet? Be great to get a move on with the Brasserie and all the empty stores along it looking like an eyesore at the moment.

Special designation development zone for the north quays sounds positive. Seems to be Paudie COffeys pushing it, with council demolition starting soon, has massive potential if some public funds could be put in to kick start it, office block, pedestrian bridge, something like that.

Personally can't see anything happening with the North Quays anytime soon. Dates keep getting pushed back. Was supposed to be gone 6 months ago.

It's completely inert and the rats will party on I'm sure in there

B&Q should have new tenants in the coming months.
