    Not necessarily. There have been houses in our estate in Oakpark that have gone for low prices (may be slightly higher than that, but still on the low side). Its mainly because they were not in great condition inside as they had been rented for years and no maintenance had been done inside or out. Our house isn't going to make near what we paid for it originally, which is depressing.

    That's an abnormally low price, family sale or something? Has to be some reason as that's not the usual market price.
    Unless it was the actual house where the murder happened? Folk tend to be rather irrational about that sort of thing.

    Nahhh, I just looked that up on the register - https://www.daft.ie/price-register/kerry/tralee/killeen-woods/?keyword=Killeen+Woods&min_price=25000&max_price=5000000&sortby=sold_date-desc


    number 23 was not the house where the murder happened. I'm pretty sure that the house where the young lad was killed is now owned by the council and used as a council house. That price seems unusually low, I can only imagine that there was some serious work needed on it, or as mentioned by someone else on the thread, it could have been a sale to family. The usual prices houses have went for in that estate in the last year and a half have been 130ish.

    Does the price on the Property Price Register for the Property you're querying have an asterisk * next to it (denoting below market rate)? This usually means it was sold off the market to a family member or another connected person to the vendor at an intentional discount.

    Howeve, I'm not sure it's fair to be listing out individual private addresses here on a chat forum though. If I owned or rented the property being discussed, it wouldn't be nice having my home discussed in a derogatory way. I'm sure you'd be the same about your home!

    I am told that the Gardai are wandering into a certain bar in the Square on at least a couple of times a day and that it is now closing after 9pm because of course there is no off site food to bring in.

    Passed by bar today, the outside area was packed. Only 2 people were eating, and that was a Subway from next door.

    Always seems to be the same. I saw them put an empty, dirty plate in front of someone last weekend! :mad:

    This must sicken all the compliant bars (the wet bars who remain close and are hurting financially) and the bars that are open and serving food and have gone to costly lengths to comply with every NPHET guideline to ensure public safety.

    It seems to me that it was going to be closed for good, because they removed the Tralee location their website a while ago. Something must have changed their mind, as it's now open and back on their store locater list.

    I hope it goes well, or they'll change their mind again.

    imo i wouldn't be surprised if it does close. They can't be doing much in there. I don't remember the last time i was even in there. Where they not supposed to be moving a few months ago?

    The grand hotel has a lot left to be desired also which is surprising for what is normally a very decent spot.

    People are allowed to enter the bar not knowing if there are tables available or not. There is no one on the door monitoring numbers. This from what I’ve seen results in people walking in stopping and looking for a table realising there’s none and walking out again. Nightmare scenario if someone had Covid 19.

    There is also no contact tracing details taken.

    They are using the ballroom area at the back as a waiting area where people are being served drink with no food while waiting for a table to free up.

    Personally witnessed a number of people using the back laneway to access the ballroom just for alcohol. I know a few of the heads that were were most definitely not waiting for a table to be served food.

    It seems he’s attracting a few daily drinkers with no interest in food that would usually frequent other wet bars that are lowering the tone a bit.

    I heard a similar story!

    Has any one tried the new Pizza Place - Mizzoni? I've not tried it or the other one on Castle St yet. I used to love the firewood cooked pizza place near the courthouse. A pity it closed down a few years ago.

    We tried Mizzonis when it first opened, they put on very, very little sauce. It was like just eating cheese on bread. Haven't been back since, but other Mizzonis in other counties are great, so hopefully my experience was just teething problems.

    Pizza King on Castle Street we had a very good experience in. Would recommend.

    Hello guys, I am moving back to Tralee and into a new apartment next week. The apartment I'm renting does not have parking. Do you guys know if the Tralee county council do parking permits I can buy for the year or something or is there anywhere to park for the year?

    They do permits. You need a copy of your lease/rental agreement and I think drivers licence. I may have forgotten something but give them a buzz for exactly what you need and the cost.

    Does anyone know if you can buy hose pipe cut to measure in Tralee anywhere? I wouldn't need a full length one, just 1m/1.5m would do me for hooking up to a dehumidifier for constant drainage. Jesus it's heavy weather lately!

    They hadn't closed down, just closed for Covid-19. They were due to move premises, but that's put on hold for now. They haven't gone out of business.
