it says its an 'ex-catalogue' jewellery shop, 'Titanic Jewellery' or something like that. I'd say just temporary.

Sounds like the kind of place your friends from back around page 95 might appreciate.
This place is getting a bit addictive I think I need some detox.
Good night everyone. I sincerely hope not to bother you all again for at least a week.
Got a bus to get in the morning lol.

Nice to see we are all getting on a bit better tonight!:P

Before i depart id like to give a special mention to the guy who stands outside the council offices all by himself for hours on end with the placard saying 'No property tax!'
He was there all day on Sunday by himself, either hes mad, or truely dedicated. Either way he must be commended for putting in the hours!!

someone told me that the irony about him protesting about the property tax is that he doesn't actually even own a house!?

its great to see so many jobs for the town, but it really seems a bit extreme. I'd say McDonald's in Tralee don't even employ that many & they are busy!

Same rules as always I bose, it's just some people tend not to treat that hubcap of a roundabout as a roundabout.

It does seem mad. What would these 53 people be doing? Presumably there will be separate shifts during the day/weekends.

53 includes lads working there as in building electrics, plumbing etc and the jobs it will be supporting I.e. suppliers etc

how many staff will actually work in the restaurant serving food etc then?

It said on Radio kerry that the restaurant will open 7am to midnight Sun to Wed and til 2am Thur - Sat. I'd say if it's a large restaurant with those long opening hours, the different shifts would make up the 53 if that includes part-timers/weekend workers etc. I doubt the 53 roles includes suppliers or contractors brought in to fix the plumbing/electrics etc on ad hoc call outs as surely they would not classify as Rocky Mountain employees...at least that's how I interpret it.

Good news for Tralee alright!

On a separate note, I know it was already mentioned on this thread but Dealz have now confirmed an opening in August in Tralee with 30 new jobs. This is a good jobs week for Tralee! Hopefully the second unit mentioned in the article below secures a big name tenant with more secure jobs!

http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/commercial-property/tralee-outlet-for-uk-discounter-1.1442340

The UK discounter Dealz is to open a large new outlet at Abbeycourt in Tralee, Co Kerry.
The company, which is owned by th UK retailer Poundland, has leased 650sq m (7,000sq ft) close to Tesco, Pamela Scott, Boots, Jack & Jones and Vera Moda.
Dealz will be creating
30 jobs when it opens its new store in August. It already trades out of
25 stores around the country.
Joint agents CBRE and Ger Carmody Auctioneers are reporting good interest in another retail unit of 506 sq m in the Tralee centre, which is available at €373 per sq m (€35 per sq ft). DTZ Sherry FitzGerald advised Dealz.

the likes of Michael Guiney's and the two Euro shops in the square won't be too happy to have Dealz on their doorstep! I can see at least one of them closing, probably not Guiney's, but one of the other two?
Dealz would not appeal to me, Would prefer to see something a bit more upmarket going in there.

I normally shy away from those types of stores but was in a Dealz in Blanchardstown today and it actually is a more pleasant shopping experience. While it ultimately sells your usual Euro discount stuff, it is presented in wide supermarket aisle formats with everything displayed neatly and with a better and massive product range including a lot of grocery basics. I can see it doing well in Tralee.

Anyone know what happened in Oakpark around 8.30 last night? There were a lot of fire brigades, ambulances and guards up near the shop where everybody parks and blocks the main road.

Traffic accident in front of the Oaklands Store/Oakpark Medical Centre. I passed the place shortly after and both the cars looked pretty bad (Renault Scenic vs. Opel Corsa). I hope everybody is ok, there where no ambulances around at the time as far as I could see. The remaining road can be very narrow when people park on both sides, but I guess the store needs the customers nowadays.

They will only be taking a fraction of the new building if that is the case or is it the Cost Plus Sofas place they are talking about for Dealz?

I wandered into Dealz in Killarney. There are a few bargains in there.

I'm pretty certain it's the brand new building opposite small Tesco that they are referring to.

Does anyone now what kinda if food will be served in the Rocky Mountain place?
I wonder will it be along the lines of that steak house that used to be in the Cresent shopping centre in limerick? They used to cater for parties and such.
Lovely place till it closed!
Hope this new place does well as it would be very easy to nick name it the Rocky Horror Show if things go sour!!

Sale being advertised in the Cost Plus Sofas place that closed down by Tesco starting 10am tomorrow. Advertising up to 75% off. I also noticed that the bargain shelf in Tesco Abbey Court had loads of Father's Day gift set toiletries discounted.
