Unfortunately an 11 year old little girl died in an accident with her bike an a van on the Abbeydorney road. I think the road is still closed off. Very sad news. Condolences to her parents and family. RIP

Puts everything, and I mean everything in perspective.

I see that Ryles pharmacy are opening (again) in Ashe street. They are going into the building opposite where they were before it changed to Lloyds pharmacy.

Slightly different ownership to the new pharmacy, they sold the old pharmacies to Lloyd's and half that ownership with new partners are opening the new pharmacy

You'd have to wonder is there really a need for an Quinlan’s? That'll be three in Tralee now.

Sheridans Cheesemongers and Baxter and Greene deli also opening. Once all completed, it will be quite the upgraded supermarket!

I've seen the businesses that are going in, I'm presuming that Dunnes will be getting rid of their own meat/cheese/fish counter when this all happens

Yeah, that's what they've done in the upgraded Dublin supermarkets.

Some of these brands, like Whelan's Butchers and Baxter & Greene, were bought out by Dunnes. So they'll still be very much their butcher and deli counters.

Quinlans supply other chains "Own Brand" fish, not sure how that would be received !!

Dunnes have started the work for the new outlets to go in. They look like they will all be down the back area of the food section as they have closed off a big chunk and re-arranged it a bit. It will be good to see it all done.

This must be one of those 'essential' protests that COVID approves of!!

There seems to be a new cafe/restaurant going into the old Mozarts unit. New signage is up but I couldn't quite make out what it said.

There is no reason for a protest for a foreign concern in these times of Covid, a petition is enough .....the protest although fine in normal times, has no effect in a small town on Europes edge. Normal times I do not care. Now beyond it is stupid, do not care what the case numbers are.
This is how it takes hold....sure its grand attitude.......the reason why I didn't get my Christmas drink.

I'm sure it's the usual anti-everything rent-a-crowd. Anti-mask, anti-vaxx, anti-flouridation, anti-water charges etc.

.... are these the Anti-Maskers in disguise???

For **** sake... have they not been watching teh numners dying from Covid for past year. I guess they find comfort that numbers in ICU are down - plenty of room IF they end up getting sick!

Could very well be, there are quite a few anti mask demonstrations around the country today at 2pn.
This could be one masquerading as a Pro-Palestinian demonstration

No idea, but they do training and response time exercises out beyond the Kerries at times.. hopefully that's all it was

Good to hear. Hopefully something that will be a success!

Shaka Hislop

I saw a few images of the protest today, a local "politician"who changes partys more times than his jocks was there...
But other than that, I recognised a few Syrians and a Brazilian I'd know...so it wasn't the anti-mask brigade

Terrys butchers in Oakpark are pretty good for it. My husband has got it there a few times. Also Seamus O'Sullivan in Manor.

Looks like all the OPW sites in Kerry will be free for the rest of the year:

I know its not a butchers, but you can't beat Aldi for their premium range steaks. The 30 day aged ones that come in the black boxes.
