For the sake of 35 euros I'd be parking at the airport.

Exactly, and it is also a 10 euro each way trip on the Green bus. It's not as if it's free

If your traveling as a couple,
Which most people are.
It's nearly always better to park at the airport.
You might save 20 quid but the hassle of waiting on the bus (especially on the way home) is not worth it.

Not to mention you have just mentioned on a public forum you intend parking there im a security lacking car park for a week! Ha!

i saw a clamped car in the Woodies car park about a year ago. i wondered at the time what the circumstances were, i am guessing now that someone tried the same trick of leaving the car there to go to airport.

would it be awkward parking in the woodies car park, getting suitcases out of a car and walking towards the Naas Ball. if security came over while you were taking the suitcases out, would it be awkward explaining what you are doing.

i like parking in the airport myself, mainly for the trivial reason that I can pick up bread/milk etc on the way home.

id say the jungle den/ colman sports car park would be less managed by security, especially with the garage there id say cars would just sit there.id suggest parking there.

Not a good idea. Patrolled by Maudlins Security. Also why do people go to such lengths to avoid paying for parking ffs.

i stand corrected re that car park, and agree with soundman, i suggest just paying the parking fee. if you can afford to fly....

Just get a taxi into town to the bus. If your insurance found out, you parked in a private car park for a few days, there'd be a case to not paying out.

I hope so. I like Camile. I used to be a fan of the Thai kitchen in Sallins - but I gave up on them. I don’t think the food is as good as when they first opened. In fact I think they’ve just gone steadily downhill.

Thinking of getting a kitchen and dining room extension on back of house. Can anyone one recommend a builder, especially one that finishes on time.

BF Construction in Clane. They did an attic conversion for me recently and finished bang on time. They get a big thumbs up from me.

Yep it’s just as bad over a year waiting list in a lot of crèches we went to some crèches wouldn’t even give us a waiting time for the baby room as available spaces go to siblings of kids already there so get in early

Hi, would anyone know a personal trainer who would train someone with a disability / limited mobility in Naas or surrounding areas? Thanks in advance!

Thread carefully there. Most 'PT's are the product of spurious 6 to 12 week courses through various mediums with sketchy Conferring Bodies.

Check out their bone fides and if they have specialty in working with the disabled those with limited mobility

Looking into primary schools for my daughter, does anyone have any reports on the Craddockstown primary school?

We're not religious so hoping for a non denominational school, are there any others in Naas?

there might be one beside kilashee house. But its kind of a private school. its a "voluntary" donation. all the other main schools are religious - mercy, corbans, bhride, gaelscoil. i heard they plan to bring an Educate together school to Naas but thats way off.

on a more general point, unlike 20 years ago, their are no priest or nuns left to teach in these schools. The teachers still needs to follow the ethos of the school, but i dont think there is a huge religious element.

i expect that Communions and confirmations will be outside school hours in a few years time.

Have you a particular concern?
