    Freddies Arcades, Tramore.
    I saw this photo on Facebook and I wasn't sure if it was moved or not but I think it's after opening again.

    Wow Freddie is some man, wasn't it only 6 months ago that he was declared bankrupt and the original feddies closed and now he has managed to raise the funds to reopen again. Ireland needs more people like him who can turn things around that fast.

    I am surprised that he was able to get another licence but maybe his reputation as a hard working, honest businessman persuaded the council.

    It's good news for local families with the jobs it will create.

    Did anyone else get a vibe of sarcasm from this post? Sorry I'm only messin really and I agree fully with it. But the first thing I thought from reading your post was "oh aye and pigs fly" *laugh*

    I don't know the story of Freddie in honesty but I enjoyed going on the blackjack machine in there a lot. Haven't been there in years now.
