    The old Minstrels bar building is being demolished tonight. I think they will be doing more tomorrow night too. It was an eye sore the last few years. It will be good to see a new modern building when it’s rebuilt.

    Its not permanent, they will be reopening again in another spot. I don’t know when or where, but they are due to reopen. Apparently the lease was up where they were and the landlord wanted to increase the rent so they decided not to renew the lease there.

    A bit strange though that Vera Moda, which is the same company, is still open in the unit next door. Indeed the two units are interlinked.

    Yeah it’s a bit strange. But I think Vero Moda May have opened after Jack & Jones and could possibly do the same thing when lease is up. They may both move.

    Is there any nightclub in Tralee anymore? Fabrik is gone and the Horan's Centre one seems to be closed also.

    No only Late Bars. The Abbey, Hennessy’s, The Blasket and Benners Hotel.

    Benners open their nightclub occasionally on bank holiday weekends or for other special nights.

    The road works in Boherbee are really dragging on now. It looks like they are behind schedule as they haven’t even started on lower Castle Street Down as far as AIB yet and they are meant to be finished in 2 weeks!

    Last I heard about Fabric was that there is noting left inside the building now

    And the plan was to set it up as a hub and have rental office units in there

    Yeah I know the woman opening it, Maeve Frawley. She is a personal trainer & runs classes in Monavalley, She is also a sports & leisure lecturer in the ITT and owns a gym in Newcastle West called the Arena. I think that's what she will be naming this gym too.

    That’s great news, I’m delighted for her. It’s great to see people with a bit of ambition. I hope she makes a success of it.

    She's a lovely lady and a very hard worker. I hope it does well for her. I have been going to her classes for years and love it, so I am looking forward to joining her gym too. Its been years since I joined a gym, and I can't wait to see how it looks when its finished.

    I just read on Facebook that Fitzgibbon interiors are moving into the big glass unit in Manor, which used to be a car sales showroom. They said on their page they will be open there this summer! It will be good to finally see the unit filled again.

    Not looking good for Debenhams globally which have gone into administration with 50 yet to be announced stores to close. It said the most under-performing stores would shut - hopefully Tralee isn't part of that list!

    They were on the list some years ago when they were going into administration... could be dodgy unfortunately.

    If Debenhams went, what would go in there? They would need something to attract customers.

    I’d be fairly sure Tesco have an exclusivity agreement for the centre.
    Maybe they could section it off into 5/6 new units;there would be plenty of interest. The place is crying out for a fast food restaurant. KFC or Supermacs would be great.

    BK is only over the road.

    It’s not in the shopping center though..... like most shopping centers.
    Sure McDonalds is closer than BK.

    I don't think there are any exclusively agreements in place anymore.... Gloria Jean's, Costa and Starbucks
    Curry's, Harvey Norman...if someone throws a ball of money there way, it want be refused

    The adminstration (and fifty store closures) only apply to the core UK business. The Irish operation is a legally-separate subsidiary.

    It wouldn't surprise me though if the Debenhams Ireland unit were offloaded to Sports Direct. (They're mad to get their claws into any part of the carcass!)

    In that case, hopefully it would be rebranded as House of Fraser but the fear would be that some or all of the stores would get a Sports Direct makeover!

    Regarding the Primary Care Centre, it seems like they have signs for Flynn Construction plastered on the windows for the last 2 years suggesting work underway but no actual visible progress!
