    Recommend a good route for pub crawl? Only stipulation is minimum distance between pubs. Couple of old folks with us

    Spent the afternoon at Moyderwell schools benefit for Velzen.
    A large turnout, (never knew the Malaysian community in Tralee was so big)
    Amy, his wife & Alex his son were there also & I think the show of support helped her and his parents a little today.
    Zumba with Linda and her class, face painting etc for the kids & traditional Malay cooking in abundance which went down a treat with all.
    Attempts at speeches ended in tears all around, but I think the sense of togetherness shown by one and all was truly special today

    Sean og's-->cearnog-->Teach beag-->Bailey's corner-->Blasket. That is my normal route.

    The first four is generally a mixture of youngish and older crowds, Baileys is a short trek up the town and again a mixed crowd, the blasket is generally for younger people after 10pm.

    awh, it must have been very emotional. Fair play for his wife & family for coming along, that can't have been easy for them. May he rest in peace

    Yes, she was surrounded by her friends & family which helped & his father was touched at the show of support also.
    Some nice spot prizes & the main prize was 2 nites stay in a hotel which was actually given to Amy, nobody wanted to claim it.
    its a small gesture, but a nice one.
    Funeral on Monday I believe to Rath cemetery.

    Just one more :)
    There will be a pancake flip today in the Manor West retail park from 2pm in aid of Velzen's family.
    Pancakes will be €2, fillings of your choice and it will be Velzen's coworkers from the Manor West hotel doing the cooking.

    Yesterdays event raised €1300 and hopefully todays event adds to that magnificent total

    Could be totally legit though.
    The tralee town council have had some trees cut down & others cut back in the last week.
    St Patrick's bungalows in Urban Tce had theirs done, think there was some work around John's Pk too.
    Best contact the council if there's any doubt in your mind

    If they were legit they would have high vis vests, signage to warn pedestrians etc.

    This pair were simply propping a ladder up against trees and lobbing off branches with a hand saw.

    Ill give the urban council a call in the morning.

    It's very possible you are correct. It may have been locals taking things into their own hands?
    But definitely give a ring tomorrow to the council & see if they know anything.......for a change ;)

    Working on a Sunday would be even more surprising! Doubt if the council would do general maintenance stuff on a Sunday.

    Anyways, can anyone recommend good reasonable window cleaner, chimney is clean now time for the windows I can't reach!

    It was originally this month but the latest I heard is 'before Christmas'. All the main construction works seem to be done at this stage. It seems to be internal stuff and getting the car park done that's remaining.

    It should also be noted that from the 21st of November Tipperary Town will be part of Tralee :)

    I'd say the Buy Lo store across the way won't be pleased having Aldi on it's doorstep. Does anyone actually shop there regularly - I don't know anyone who does?

    I know there was a few objections from businesses around them, but I would have thought they got it by now.

    My partner and I call it "Costalot" because well it's overpriced for what you get.
    Does Tralee really need another coffee shop? I mean there are so many good café's in the town centre and my experiences of Costa leave a lot to be desired...

    Not as of last Friday morn anyways.
    Perhaps it's been settled by now, I haven't heard either way as of yet.

    It was only a matter of time before a franchise moved in, as you say there are several cafés now and they seem to prosper. In addition to this, there are less options to have lunch now.
