    Not being smart but obviously the person could not even indicate that they were in Tralee or even Kerry. I'm guessing the operator googled Tennis Village Ireland and came up with a Cork address.

    Have you met any non nationals who can't tell you where they live? I haven't. The emergency services understood Tennis Village but not Tralee or Kerry. I don't buy it.
    I smell a cover up on the way & the statement issued smacks of ranks closing

    +1 She's very good, as is Marcus who now owns the practice, it was Denis Reen for a long time until he retired. I used to go to him since I was a child, and continue to go there since Marcus took over.

    Agree totally, somone is busy writing a cover up story . What is it with Ireland and large Institutions whether in the Public or Private Sector?
    The moral compass has simply disappeared from existence. Telling the truth seems to be unacceptable in these organisations. What is it with Management of these Institutions? To admit failure or a mistake is a weakness and must be covered up at all costs. Is it any wonder the Country is in such a mess, mediocrity in Management prevails.............:mad:

    People give out about having an English or German overlord but I would happily take one of them instead of these useless irish. We are like some failed African state who hasnt got a clue sometimes.

    How things have changed. The Brogue is on sale for the price of an average central Dublin apartment at the height of the madness €395k including the licence and and the contents!! Again at the height of the madness the licence alone would have traded at up to €100k, probably couldn't give them away now.

    And I also seen in the Kerry's Eye that the Sportsfield bar is for sale. The current lease expires in August 2016. Considering its location, expiring lease, the likelihood of the lease being renewed (Damien must be well into his 60's) etc I cannot see it selling for much. I'd imagine the only likely buyer is Damien if his intention was to maintain the business but in a declining area with an a dying off customer base and the Mitchell's moving out the odds must be that it is not viable in the medium term.

    a language barrier is of no consolation to the poor parents who lost their child! Could the call centre not employ translators?
    Its heartbreaking and totally avoidable. No excuse for it. RIP to the little angel and condolences to their poor family :(

    Agree totally.
    Thoughts tonight with the parents on the loss of their wonderful baby.

    Fair comment.
    Welcome to the Land of Saints and Scholars reduced to a Nation of austerity where incompetence at the highest levels in Political and Business communities was tolerated. Business and Political leaders rose to the level of their own incompetence.

    Sadly nothing much has changed over the last few years .No doubt the usual platitudes will be rolled out , almost as quickly as they roll off the pens of the gifted PR spin writers.

    Will a proper explanation emerge? Not if past experience is anything to go by.
    In nautical history the Captain of a ship accepted responsibility for his actions and went down with his ship. In today's Ireland the Captains of Industry and Politics simply cover up their failures or attempt to scapegoat one of their crew.

    Tonight the lonely parents , guests in this country ,suffer in grief, tormented by the fact that if the emergency services had reached them in time ,their baby may have had a chance.

    Pity, sign of the times.
    Carmel's Discount Store have been on Rock Street for at least 5 or 6 years, their main competitors are in better locations with greater footfall.
    The girls in the shop were always very helpful and pleasant , will miss this shop. It was like Alladin's cave, stocked a massive range of stock anything from travel adaptor plug to art supplies.
    I recall meeting the owner of the store on one occasion , a very pleasant lady who worked hard and with great enthusiasm in her business. Wishing all concerned the very best in the future.:)

    Sully is back!

    His first statement borders on racism his second does little to promote a positive image of Tralee.

    Juvenile comments, looking for attention, hardly the type of comments needed on the Tralee thread.

    It is Summertime, visitors and holidaymakers get turned off by stupid comments.

    Borders?? This is a Tralee Thread for people that live in Tralee Derek. I have been here my whole life and dont take lightly to 'blow-ins' like yourself with that nonsence 'tea and cakes brigade' trying to paint over the cracks.
    If Tourists get turned off by my posts well so be it, better then getting thier heads caved in on a night out by some thug because they didnt have a cigarette

    Boy, you have a lot to learn !

    Perhaps you need to live outside Tralee for a while and expand your mind a little.

    There are a lot of outsiders who have worked and invested in Tralee over the years, provided education services and employment to the people of Tralee.

    In all the years I have had associations with Tralee you are the first person who has openly displayed your narrow mindedness and ignorance to "blow ins "like myself.

    I have absolutely no doubt that you are in the minority.

    Have a nice evening Sully.

    I don't like derek either, his posts are nearly always condescending and he comes across as somebody that thinks hes a better human than the rest of us because hes got more money in his wallet.

    he may not live here 7 days a week, but he does spend a lot of time here from what he's said...so does that make someone a blow in?

    My husband isn't Irish, so I suppose he isn't allowed say he likes Tralee because he's a blow in?
    Not all of us dislike Tralee as much as you. If you hate the place so much, why do you still live here? I never understand people who say how much they hate a place, yet stay all their lives!?
    Maybe you should set up your own thread about how sh*t the town is!?

    The warning wasnt because of Del. The warning was because of the inbox full of report emails i have.
