    No upset caused sweetie, just wish people who complained constantly on internet fora would actually get a little pro active & deliver their observations & proposed solutions to the proper parties, could alleviate the repetitive strain from all the typing too!
    Nothing worse than people coming on here complaining about people complaining

    Why the **** is everyone so bloody menstrual lately?, A fella posts a comment about the population count of Tralee and people freak out. Get a grip for christ sake, nothing worse than keyboard warriors making a big song and dance about fucccccck all.

    If you don't agree with someone fair enough, but there is no need for half the ****e said.

    Fair point. If every business could add 6 or 7 new jobs, that would help enormously. Dealz better known as Poundland in the UK may lead the way for other UK retailers opening in Tralee.
    Whether they are from the UK or Dublin they are welcome to Tralee if they can boost employment and fill the vacant units in town , ultimately creating a spin off for every business in town.
    Let us not trample on green shoots!:)

    We live with unprecedented economic meltdown in our lives. Is it possible to use this Thread to boost the fortune of Tralee ? Instead of Tralee bashing, can we try and turn negatives into positives.
    We report regularly on the opening of new coffee shops, which I personally enjoy, however the opening of Dealz gets a lukewarm reaction.?
    Besides the opening of new businesses, there must be lots of other positive things happening too, whether they may be the opening of a Charity shop, or Tidy Streets group.
    It is incumbent on everyone to sell Tralee both inside the town and to outsiders, what better way than through this forum.
    Wealth does not stop at money but includes cultural, mental and physical well being too.
    There are lots of great things happening in Tralee, sadly they never get reported. We are all human, and it is very easy to get hung up on the negatives rather than promoting the positives. I am guilty too!
    People in Tralee have lots to offer,they come from different backgrounds, culturally, spiritually, politically etc. the time has arrived to pull together and get Tralee moving again.:)

    If ya look at the local court transcripts and those printed in the Kerry's eye it's always the same names who are up in court or various offences....it's a pity in irland we don't have a 3 strikes and ur out system as every town in Ireland Lund be relatively crime free within a year and all the left wing do gooders could all go join the tidy towns committes as the would have burger all else to do

    All the footage looks quite resent to me, which bits are you referring to ?

    I liked the bit talking about community in the town over laid with Manor West's 'Community starts here' banner.

    Looks like he used a lot of old footage, it seems to be from where the Tralee Wetlands is now, but before it was developed, so it looks like baron land! Then there's more up-to-date stuff with Lee records closed etc.

    I just thought the footage where it showed what looked to be the land out the Blennerville road...but I thought it looked like it was from before it was turned into the Wetlands. I am originally from Ballyard, and there's a little bridge in that footage, which used to be the old Ballyard bridge that you would drive over, but now there is a wider road (for many years now). I just though from looking at it, it was that bridge, but I could be wrong!

    The only bridge I can see there [well apart from B'ville bridge] is the one that crosses to the old dump. The vantage point looks like it is from the observation tower, which of course would cause one to question what TCC thinks tourists will part with hard earned cash to 'observe' ‽
    If you are into goat watching there is no better place !

    Nope, from what I read they need to install a new box where your phone line is and you get a new router. I haven't called them about it yet as my contract is up next month and I'm hoping to get a few quid off
