    Yup. Just didn't sit right with me from the start. If it was going to open up it would've been there by now I think.

    The planning permission shouldn't be taking this long at all unless they are doing a full, large revamp of the place. The beer garden is probably what is holding it all up.

    EDIT: It looks like future work by the Waterford City Council that is planned will be interfered with by a lot of what Wetherspoons have planned. Long way to go yet, if at all possible.

    Article in business section of Irish examiner today...company to focus on Dublin....Waterford (and carlow) on back burner.
    Time for council to put some sort of derelict order on them, they have permission for good while now, shouldn't be allowed sit on site by leaving it in state it is in.I'm all for pro business and being reasonable but just seems like big company taking the P at this stage.

    :mad: This ****e seriously irritates me. It’s completely unacceptable that these viable buildings will be left undeveloped for possibly over a decade. Why did they buy them? What the hell has changed? If anything the prospects for Waterford have improved since they bought them and got planning permission.

    Unfortunately there is no way to 'compel' building owners to do anything to their vacant/idle properties unless they are a risk to the public i.e. Close to collapsing.

    News & Star had a piece about this in their paper a few weeks ago, they said literally what the Examiner piece is saying, that the Dublin one would be priority for the foreseeable future.

    That's a pity, I had not realised things had gone quiet, I just thought they were a bit slow getting things started.

    The building on the corner of Michael Street and Lady Lane (beside Dunnes Stores) kind of looks like it's being turned into a pub - does anyone know what's going in there?

    Is that really necessary? Hopefully your account will be closed in another couple... The comments you have posted on this and other Waterford forums recently have been disgraceful. No-one finds it the least bit funny.

    JD Wetherspoon says it's committed to opening in Waterford City.

    The pub giant was granted planning permission last November to develop a premises at two adjoining buildings on Broad Street and Arundel Square.

    The Waterford pub would be spread out over three floors and would include a 1st floor customer garden area.

    Wetherspoon confirmed to WLR News that they will definitely be developing the site, however, at present there are no on-site or open dates.

    It says "this financial year". Their financial year runs until August so there is a possibility it could open after then.

    Cant see it happening. Wetherspoons owner Tim Martin campaigned in favor of brexit. Now he says he cant make money in Ireland because of brexit!

    Isn't he still building here though, I thought I read a bit about Witherspoon hotel and another pub recently enough. Probably Dublin but still. I also read in n&s about some pre works in site here, that's all it was in article, nothing too be excited about but just works connected to surveying, etc. A lot of conflicting info and to be fair, this fella does a lot of giving out about anything that prevents the UK isolating itself in a hard brexit and going back to the empire days.

    It really isnt unfortunate. The last thing the city centre needs is one of those dives. Will do absolutely nothing for the area other than provide a place in the city centre for the dregs of society to get cheap drink and vile food

    Thats true. Went into the one in Dun Laoghaire one Saturday at about 2PM. Place was filthy, lads falling around the place totally pissed, full of kids playing around. We legged it pretty quick. Waterford could do without one of these in the city centre.

    I live in Swords and the one there is the exact same. Full of people who are barred out of every other bar in the town along with their offspring. Horrific establishments.

    agreed. Wetherspoons is among the worst thing the Brits have unleashed upon us.:D

    Brits abroad type sh*tholes.

    The UK is full of these franchised branded bar kips: Yates, walkabout, wetherspoons. The less of them that make it over here the better .

    Agreed but it would be nice to have a bar there all the same, to inject a bit of life into that part of town.
