    anyone know what happened to O'Neill's Shop (think that's the name), the one in Michael Street, next to the pound shop, opposite AIB atm. Passed yesterday and noticed its all boarded up with some security sign on the boards.

    The owner closed up.
    Not sure of the details if the owner shut up or the banks came in.

    STOP SHOUTING because until I see any sort of proof that story is a ****e rumour.

    I thought it would have closed a long time ago tbh.

    I always used to go there when I was a kid before the cinema. Sad to see it go really but I'm not surprised, I can't imagine they did much business and I'd say Dealz all but knocked them out

    O Neills in Dungarvan is also closed down, not sure if they were the same owners though. Waterford looks a real sorry sight these days with all the closed down shops and general air of misery. Its really only CIty Square that draws any kind of of footfall and even that is average at best. Sadly the post-Winterval slump saw a lot of shops suffering and closed down. If these landlords dont stop the upward only rents then we are gonna see even more of this. :(

    They still can get and hold any mag for you these days and are very obliging people. The Rellis's are extremely nice people too and don't deserve to be insulted.

    Hmm, wouldnt agree with you there, the guy is nice but his wife I found always rushes you and hasnt the best manner. Im very surprised its still going, it must only be their long standing customers and the after-mass crowd because the shop needs a major facelift.

    I think a lot of people like that type of shop. Cahills in Tramore is an example, a very popular shop but its completely unorganised and a bit of challenge to get around.

    i love old shops like that, and characters behind the counter. those people always have a word for ya when you go in. i love the clutter and disorganisation, it give the place character.
