Go back and reread it, it’s stated building works will commence in November with an expected completion date of May 2020

Wait til they dig up some medieval graveyard or artifacts delaying it even more ha

Hopefully it will add to they city centre for next summer. How come egans never opened again ?? Would think a location like that would of been a good investment

Did Penneys not buy the Egan's and PTSB slot to expand or was there a huge time gap in the middle?

I knw of the belfrey where the back of Penny's is now

Never mind Wetherspoons! Waterford really needs T&H's reopened.

I was in Cork at the weekend so of course I paid a visit to Wetherspoons to see what’s in store for us. If you know the chain then you’ll know the feel and the layout and Cork was just like being in London or Leeds, same everything.

Good beers including 4 or 5 hand pulled ales including Adnams Ghost Ship, all priced at €2.75 and the ones I tried were in excellent condition. No Guinness apparently but Beamish was €2.95

Food was good and quick, burgers €7.90 or €9.90 with a pint or a glass of wine.

All in all I thought it was great.

And the app is very handy to be able to order from your table and pay by PayPal

Screw those Palestinian killing Israelis from Teva - they should be gone from this town, and bring their 600 jobs with them! 🙄

And I have issues with the Saudi backed North Quay development. I don't know very much about Alhokair and from where his wealth originates or his connections to the royal family.

I tried him on forbes and this is all I could find

My point is, his opinion on brexit can’t really hurt us now can it? If you were to look at the ethics behind every investment in this country you’d probably have a moral dilemma after every second rock you look under.

Brexit is a storm in a teacup. Fuelled by the age of fake news, social media and the anxiety fuelled culture of the new millenium the masses are conditioned to accept bad things are on the horizon! Does anyone remember the 1980's?... a decade of deep recession yet we all survived! I was only a kid @ the time but unlike today there was a sense of community and people tried to get on with things as best they could. Life was simpler. Today if something horrible happens on the other side of this large planet its immediately beamed onto our TV, computer, mobile screens instantaneously.

Oh you can be damn sure, brexit won't be good in the long run, most certainly for the uk itself, we potentially could be watching the beginning of the end of the uk, there's a possibility it may break up here, as I'm not the only one thinking this, oh and I'm not a millenial, brexit most certainly isn't a storm in a teacup

Latest planning application for this allowing for changes they had to make to the bar layout, fire escapes etc, due for decision by 11th - that's Saturday so we'll call it Monday.

I like what I see here. Very expansive. Can't wait to see Arundel square come back to life.

Dexpat · 10-01-2020 9:07am

Whatever you think about Wethersoons as a pub, they do a really good job fitting out any new pubs they do. I was in the Silver Penny in Abbey St Dublin which they opened last year which used to be an old bank. They restored an old spiral stairecase and it's a really good finish inside with lots of different sections.

I see from the elevations in the planing application that they are keeping the ugly thick glass window on the upper floor of the Arundel Sq side which is a shame. It should bring life back to that part of town after 6pm which is great though. There have been a lot of delays but they finally seem to be ready now to start this straight away.

PTH2009 · 14-01-2020 7:29pm

Was in the the silver penny today in dublin and It looked great with very reasonable prices on food and drink

Ours will hopefully be similar with it been an ex bank like the silver penny

The app ordering service can be a pain esp for people not into technology
