    Anywhere around the tralee area I could get. 1 tonne bag of topsoil. Doesn't need to be screened

    Try Tom boyle in Scartaglin

    Hopefully they'll stay in the town centre. Limited options of adequate size though, apart from the former Dunnes and Guineys units. Would hate to see them move out to Manor.

    The unit they've vacated is badly hampered by the fact most of the ground floor is missing and the upper floors can only be accessed by a normal stairs.

    I'm old enough to remember when Penneys occupied that full building with an interconnecting passage to Quinnsworth on the Square!!. In hindsight, they shouldn't have split that fine period building into 3 units and kept it as one larger unit that would have attracted a bigger retailer and given a more impressive street frontage. That's the problem with many of the retail units around town, too many itty bitty tiny units only suitable in size for cash for gold, fake hair extensions, mobile phone covers or vape shops!(or in some cases selling all 4! Lol)

    Wonder is there any truth to the rumors that an Anti Lockdown protest is scheduled for Saturday in Tralee.

    Yep, numbers won't be too high...I'm only wondering if the teens locked up for the last year won't cut loose with shaving foam and eggs...could be a messy day in the town centre

    Do you think the Rose of Tralee will go ahead this year? No announcement has been made, I'm just curious. I personally can't see it happening, but who knows? Maybe later in year? Just seems like this year could be tough for the entertainment industry again. It would be nice if it could, but I feel like its doubtful.:(

    Seeing as Anthony O'Gara didn't want to cancel it last year until pressure was exerted, I can't see him being in any hurry this year to cancel.
    But the reality is that it cannot and will not happen

    I heard that the organisers of Electric Picnic are still planning to go ahead in September! I don't see how they can!? Its very hard to see anything going ahead. I would imagine all concerts etc will all be rescheduled again for 2022.

    I'd say anyone that tried to hold a concert/festival before mass vaccination worldwide would be slapped pretty hard...
    could you imagine thousands of unvaccinated people arriving into Tralee for the Rose...a disaster waiting to happen

    I doubt this year because aside from anything else all the regional selections would have to be done soon. Unless they changed those events to zoom interviews. And thats only one small things, theres so many other reasons why a festival like that won't be viable this year.

    Funnily enough....I don't know of a single business supporting this protest.
    One particular taxi driver in town will be front and centre....a dangerous individual, so shan't name the guy

    I thought I heard they were doing a television only event, no audience, this year. Don't recollect where I seen/heard it.

    I think he would be dangerous if he had a following which he doesn't seem to have at all.

    I've had enough of the 'goodie two shoe' brigade on this forum...

    He - who ever he is and ye are referring to (along with anyone else for that matter) has a right to do/protest /support whoever/whatever they like within the law.

    God forbid someone thinks a bit differently to the know alls here..

    "Within the law" is the issue

    Fail to see how it's a goodie two shoe brigade when we are discussing a protest where no one will be wearing a mask.

    I fail to see how that's operating within the law. People like him and the crap he spouts out on his Facebook page are dangerous. He's a taxi driver and he thinks he knows more than trained medical professionals.

    Get real

    That's fine, but don't name him or any of these conspiracy nuts on here. Don't give them any airtime to feed into their bull crap! We don't want to draw them on us here either!
