    I noticed that the 'FAS' office is closing to the public next week. I think the new employment office is the building opposite the post office on Edward street?

    I was told on Wednesday last that I had to go to the Local Employment Services Office in North Circular Road in future as Intreo Offices will not be dealing with walk in clients.

    Your guess is as good as mine. Have to say though that LES really looked after me. I actually felt human there.

    No, I was in North Circular Road. I think the place you are asking about is a sub office

    LES are a great service with lovely staff. Dealt with them myself May last year, after I tried to apply for a Fas course in the Fas office and had an interview with a woman who really couldn't care less. LES were Very friendly, helpful and encouraging.

    Kerry Co Co have published plans for the continuation of the River Lee path to Ballyseedy. This will create an off road path from Ballyseedy all the way to the Spa !

    Does anyone else find the smell of fish emanating from Quinlans bordering on the offensive? It was pretty bad down there at 6pm. Give me the Snackery smell any day!

    there was a cyclist injured in an accident tonight, up near the General hospital I think. The road was closed off for ages & is still closed on one side. Hopefully not serious

    Oh sorry to hear that . Hopefully nothing too serious. My thoughts are with the cyclist and his loved ones

    One can never be careful enough, whether a pedestrian, cyclist or motorist.

    Being visible to other road users on dark nights is of paramount importance.

    I had a close encounter myself this evening near Templeglantine Co. Limerick.

    It was dark , after 6pm , no street lights , a pedestrian in dark clothing ran across the road to a parked car !!!

    Fortunately I spotted the lady and was driving at a safe speed. Needless to say the incident frightened the life out of my front seat passenger who caught a glimpse of the pedestrian at the very last second.

    Winter is still with us, be safe, be seen!!!

    far too many cyclists out with no lights on bikes or visible clothing. The students in the ITT are terrible for this. I have to be so careful after dark coming out of our road to make sure there is definitely no cyclist coming down the main road from the college, as there are times I've just about spotted the cyclist in time cos they had no lights etc. This evening there was a guy cycling so fast down the road with a lot of traffic, all dark clothing and no lights. Its nervewracking driving in this town at times!

    A lot of joggers out too who don't tend to be very visible and some run on the road!

    Agree totally with you on this issue.
    Accidents waiting to happen! One cannot be careful enough. It may sound petty, however why don't the Garda Traffic Corps enforce the laws in relation to cyclists and adequate lighting on their bicycles. Perhaps if they nabbed a few students from the IT with no lights it may help reinforce the message.:)

    I think it was to do with the cyclist who was in the accident that Ciarrai mentioned

    Hold the horses there Michael. The information to date only says that a cyclist is in a serious condition in hospital.

    Heard late last evening that the cyclist involved in the accident near KGH, since passed away.

    Thoughts are with her family and the motorist involved in the accident.

    Yes. Supposedly the entire inside has been ripped out and renovated.

    Read in the Kerryman today that Rocky Mountain has indeed been ripped out and they have started the remodelling for Burger King/Subway etc with an aim for a mid Feb opening. I'm guessing the RM employees will just transfer over to BK as I haven't seen any advertising for new staff.
