    Listen up. For a Kebab, kaleli’s Kebab. For a burger, either New Yorkers, MJ’s Diner or the burger shack. For Chips, Quinlnas fish and chips by a country mile.

    Myself and the MIL have been disappointed by Quinlan's chips on a few occasions. Not worth the hype imo.

    Without a doubt Quinlans IMO is the best fish and chips in town.

    Lovely chips in Quinlans, and lovely 'real' fish, but the amount of oil in the fish can be almost sickening sometimes

    This was exactly our complaint, just with their chips. Same on 2 occasions, I won't be back despite the glowing reviews!

    I'm a Green Rooster chips kinda guy, love their homemade vinegar.

    I need to get our kitchen cupboards all repainted, does anyone know of a painter who is good in that area? I haven't had them done before, so not sure who to use. We tend to paint rooms in our house as needed, but I don't really want to do this myself and I don't have the time anymore.
    tia!

    There's an ad in the Advertiser for a painter who does kitchen units - Jer Reen.
    I know absolutely nothing about him; have never used his service, and I don't know where he's located. Mobile no.0876808631

    Seems like Denny Lane is reopening again and looking for staff.

    I left a less than glowing review about them on Trip Advisor, as me and the missus weren't impressed with what we had in their Killarney place. The quality of the fish and chips wasn't worth anywhere near what we paid.

    They contacted me to apologise and offered to let me have a voucher, but I wasn't going to shed my anonymity, and possibly get filleted. :pac:

    The Tralee place was okay when we went there, and I had no reason to complain.

    That's caused by the oil not being hot enough to seal the food. A mortal sin for a chipper.

    Plans released today for the Denny site. No word of the courthouse moving there yet.

    Tbe decision on that ultimately rests with the minister for justice.

    A pity though that no consideration seems to have been given to providing a new fit-for-purpose garda station adjacent to the existing poor excuse for one (which could then be demolished and the site landscaped).

    What is issue with current station? Never been beyond main entrance, I have no idea what it's like in there.

    Everyone stationed there would agree that it's way too small and pokey and not fit for purpose as a modern garda facility. Not good for morale having to work in a woefully substandard building.

    It's been earmarked for replacement for some time, with a site in Ballymullen previously suggested.

    In April of 2018 the court services offered the Dept of Justice €4 mill for said site.... still waiting for that.

    There seems to be work going on in the old Sweeneys shop in Castle Street. Looks like there will be a shop going in there again.?

    It got a lick of paint but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! The building is simply not fit for purpose.

    It got a lot more than a lick of paint, there was over a Million spent on it.

    Jesus it was a lot more than a lick of paint, there was a complete refurb of the office and admin spaces.

    Yeah, a million wasted unfortunately. It's the building itself that's deficient. Too small, unsuitable layout etc. A new build is the only adequate long-term solution.

    No it’s reopening as a shop. A local man is reopening it, it will be great to see it open again. I’d love to know where Therapie is going? Is the old Lee Record shop still empty ?
