    I hope everyone with an interest in seeing the Tralee-Fenit greenway finally bought to fruition makes an objection before tomorrow against the proposed diversion at Bawnboy that seeks to facilitate the attempted theft of public property by a local business. More info in today's Kerry's Eye.

    Objections can be emailed to ciu@kerrycoco.ie

    There ms a dedicated thread tralee to fenit greenway in the Kerry forum.

    I could do without whingy cyclists clogging up the tralee thread who will most likely use the main roads anyway regardless of the greenway.

    Not at all.

    However the original post was from a mod who should have more sense and post to the correct thread. (search before you post)

    No mod has had the decency to move the post either.

    One rule for them another for others!!!!!

    The original post related to Tralee and therefore IMO belongs in this thread. The existence of another dedicated thread is irrelevant. If my assumption is incorrect, I'm open to correction by more experienced mods.

    If you have a problem with this or anything else, PM a mod. Further discussion of modding in this thread will earn you an automatic ban. Mod.

    Unfortunately Shindig have closed their shop on Ashe Street. They are going to go online though. Shame to see another shop close.

    Something in the Kerry's eye saying how we have a lot higher rate of empty units than Killarney.

    He wanted the council to pay to relocate his business that has no planning permission to operate where it's currently located on land that doesn't belong to him.

    Hmm, yeah...

    Who is the business owner?
    I assume the council trying to remove him from the land could lead to a long drawn out legal battle which would delay the Greenway?

    The company is Southwest Pallet Production.

    I won't post the owner's name as it hasn't appeared in any other public media AFAIK but it shouldn't be too difficult to find with the auld Google yoke.

    Edit: Actually I'm wrong, Radio Kerry has identified him. Martin O'Regan is the owner.

    For someone that hasn’t been up to speed on this.

    What’s the big deal with the route taking the 700m divert???

    Just wondering what all the fuss is about.

    A myriad of reasons. Best read up on it on cyclist.ie if you're interested in knowing more.

    Very disappointing to hear but I guess covid has had a massive impact on the fashion trade. A lot of people still won't go into shops unless they're looking for something specific they need.

    I don't mind going into clothes shops for a browse, but its not being able to try things on that is putting me off buying much. I have to really want it to buy it and try on at home. I am buying a lot less!! Penney's must have so many returns at the moment!

    I skimmed through it, it’s not something I would be interested in personally so didn’t give it much time. Other than setting a precedent for other projects. I don’t see the issue personally.

    It’s a happy compromise to ensure the project isn’t held up in red tape.

    Cyclist lobby groups almost crippled the Dingle road upgrades and held it up for a number of months with issues about cycleways.

    It would be a shame to see something similar in this instance for the sake of 700m.

    Other than cyclists have any other groups put forward objections? ie walkers runners etc who would also be using the greenway!?

    I needed a few different rig outs for different reasons. Ended up paying 700 euros for them just to bring them home to bring them back a few hours later and only eventually keeping 100 euros worth of the stuff. Pure waste of time and effort

    I haven't bought clothes in a real shop in town since before lockdown, it's just not worth the bother. Now I haven't bought much online either so that hasn't really replaced it. The hassle of returning online things is always irritating too but it's even more hassle now to have to return to a real shop when you can't try it on. I don't want to go browse in the first place and knowing I may need a second trip back doesn't encourage me either!

    I really feel sorry for shops, it must be very hard to keep going with reduced footfall as I presume I'm not the only one not browsing anymore.

    Debenhams seem to be negotiating with their staff at last! Hopefully they will have a resolution next week according to the Radio Kerry website.

    Fair play for the staff for sticking it out with their protest up in Manor. I assume staff from the other outlets in Ireland have been doing the same.

    During the day? I’m not 100% sure, but definitely at night. However they are fully booked this weekend at night according to their social media page.

    I'm in 2 minds about this, part of me thinks that this is so close to completion there's a risk that it could get caught up in red tape for years to come so just go ahead with the compromise but on the other hand looking at the map for the reroute, it looks fecking daft, you would be tempted to just take the road and join the line at bawnboy bridge. Plus the fact that the business has no right to be there anyway. It would be very frustrating.

    Apparently they are not in agreement with the initial offer from Debenhams. Hopefully they will come to an agreement soon though.

    Starbucks drive through is one very busy spot since it’s opened. I don’t think I’ve passed yet and not seen a large q.
