    Yes this is true but I know of some tool hire places (not in kerry!) that will sell a second hand chainsaw to you and buy it back when you are finished with it!

    yeah, they re-opened just before Christmas. They have done a bit of work in there with the seating and made it look more like a diner. Seems to have got a bit busier in there again.

    I see the Whitehouse bar has closed once again!

    Yes the chip shop certainly appeared quite busy.

    That is a pity about The Whitehouse.

    I heard Roundys are reopen inn this month

    Interesting. Good businessmen. Hope they do well. Craft beers are becoming quite popular. I think one of the brothers was involved in radio production in Dublin. Newstalk.? Today FM ?

    Francis works for Newstalk, I think he is a producer. I don't think he's quit the job there though.

    Yes, Francis. I guess he can fit in Roundy's around the day job. Hope they do well.

    where in town can you rent a small chainsaw for a day or so?

    We have a couple of small trees that we need to get rid of & we could do it ourselves, but we don't have the equipment!


    Why don't you buy yourself a bushman saw for the job. You say the trees are small and the exercise will do you good:)

    My husband will be doing the job, but yes he was thinking of getting a saw too. I don't know if it will be as easy as it looks though, so might be better getting in a professional!

    I was going down to the bank & there was a car just stopped outside Utensils, no hazards on, and I couldn't tell if there had been an accident. The guy who owned the car was talking to someone in Courthouse lane. I was coming back up the road 10 mins later & it was still in the same spot, still no hazards on & the guy still standing at side of the road. I ended up ringing the station to tell them & they asked me to give them the reg of the car. They said they thought there was some sort of accident but they weren't sure, so they were going to send someone down!

    I couldn't believe the car was just sitting there & no one seemed to be doing anything. He might have broken down, but he could at least have put his hazards on! I don't know how long it was before they were moved, it was lashing down at that stage so I legged it back to work!

    Traffic accident between a foreign national and a member of the traveller community. Caused total chaos !!!! From what I could tell passing the foreign national wasn't budging until the guards arrived looked as though he had right of way on the main st. The travellers car was exiting court house lane!!!

    The weather was also horrific so I'd say that delayed any guard walking to the accident!! ;)

    I did notice another car stopped coming out of Courthouse lane onto Castle St, but I couldn't tell what had happened!

    Ballygarry Hotel is just outside Tralee town, (coming from the Killarney/Castleisland side). The food is always great there. Its child friendly (& its in off the road) & has a lovely area near the reception where you can relax after your meal. From past experience all age groups like it. You can check out their menus online & they cater for all diet requirements. (btw I have no connection with this place, I'm just recommending them going on past experiences). Hope you enjoy whichever restaurant you pick & your trip to Tralee.

    Since the bypass was completed its not as easy to access from the Cork/Killarney side. It is however easy from the Limerick/Castleisland side and now from the Listowel side as well!

    Well it looks like all you Burger King lovers will be able to munch on Whoppers from Valentines Day (next Friday)!! Interestingly, they kept 22 Rocky Mountain staff and hired 6 new staff. Is it me though, or does the name Tralee Food Court just sound boring? They could have called it something more original. (maybe Mountain View or Lee Valley Food Court).

    They might have someone like Barry's baking for them as well, and just using there wrappers. Makes more sense than delivering from Dublin every night!
