Hi folks, does anyone have a recommendation for a plumber? Looking to get a load of new radiators and potentially move our boiler do up the downstairs loo!

I don't have any contacts really in Naas so was hoping someone might have a recommendation?

I got Trevor Geraghty to fit new rads for me a couple of weeks ago. He did a great job, fast clean and efficient. He's in Celbridge. Properly VAT registered and insured which is important!

I'm in Newbridge and always use Mick Sammon. Reasonable prices and good clean work.

I'd recommend Fahrenheit heating and plumbing, based in Naas

Delayed yet again!

Delayed yet again!
I wonder is it anything to do with the rumor that there are two lanes crossing over the M7 at Kerry group that merge into one at the roundabout on the ring road instead of remaining two separate lanes for traffic onto the ring road. Gonna cause major tail backs at pear traffic times.
There is also a rumor that there is a missing bicycle lane. No joined up thinking on someone's part. There are bicycle lanes on the ring road through Osberstown/Mellinium park and the Sallins bypass but the link between the two i.e. the bridge crossing over the M7 at Kerry group the bicycle lane is non existent.

So far, not one single "rumor" has come to fruition.

I'm amazed at how people believe such rubbish without question.

There are delays to many projects as there's a shortage of construction workers as many Polish, Bulgarian and Romanian workers went home at the start of the initial lock down and have not returned.

the should probably abandon it. Even at this late stage, no point in throwing good money after bad. they just need to set up a committee to review the feasibility of completing this bypass. money could be better used elsewhere in sallins.

Fair point. They should pump time and money into the committee review....instead of taking the 3/4 months to finish it 😂

Yes booking required

if you like Chinese try the chinese in Johnstown, probably easier to get something there

tks for all suggestions. i dont want to book unless i have to cancel or party number is 2 instead of 6. so restaurant/pub loses out. Hence reason i was seeing if booking is required.

It’s always riddled with traffic at some point of the day, every Christmas is this bad. Worse. And no options for anyone but to drive to do the Christmas shopping. Few cycle lanes and no local bus routes.

I'm with family in Naas and my 48.ie SIM died unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. I was in touch with 48 support who ordered a replacement for me but with post the way it is, it could be next week before it arrives...

I really need my number back for work so if anyone has an unused/unactivated 48.ie SIM in the Naas or Kildare area, please PM and I would happily take it off your hands. I know it’s a long shot and sorry if not appropriate to post here. Thanks

UPDATE/EDIT - I got sorted with a sim. thanks!

Muahahaha
