Golfing chain McGuirks opening a store in Manor West Retail Park. I wonder is that in the former car showrooms or one of the newer units near Mr. Price?

Possibly this: http://www.daft.ie/kerry/commercial-property-for-rent/retail-units-for-rent/manor-west-retail-leisure-park-tralee-tralee-kerry-369286/

Hopefully they'll throw up the missing unit now.

There's a few alright. Midweek I think it's Hennessy, weekends it's the Abbey, the Blasket, Hennessys. I might be missing a few. As for where, not sure as I rarely go out anymore!

No, listened to the match on Radio Kerry and it would seem they threw it away at the end.

Working yesterday, by family and friends did the marathon...Good day bar the weather they said.

Game, no, too many Jackeens around for my liking

I watched he game on tv, it was frustrating as Kerry did throw it away a bit, bit did seem to be coming back at the end. A pity. I know a few who went to it and said it was a great atmosphere. Plenty of people around all weekend which is good.

Erik Shin

Atmosphere around was probably better than the game....The amount of on field thuggery is just beyond a joke these days ...It was actually embarrassing to call that a football game ....But better off i post on the gaa forum

kerryked

Was at the game, good atmosphere alright.

Didn't catch the official attendance but wouldn't be surprised if there was a 50/50 split of Kerry/Dublin supporters, seemed to be a lot of jackeens there.

Stayed dry so that helped with the atmosphere.

Kerry tactics frustrated Dublin, if that's what they need to do to beat Dublin, fine by me but hopefully they won't resort to these fouling tactics against every team and we see a bit of football come summer.

It did seem quite rough alright. Just get so in the way of the actual football. I read there was over 11 thousand tickets sold for the game!

Town was hopping last night after the game,good craic with the Dubs

Hopefully it will be on in Tralee when we have them at home in the league again

An Irish passport was also found and despite the name on it, they haven’t been able to track the person down.

Burst my hole laughing at that one. What kind of keystone cops have we in Tralee Garda Station at all? They can just contact the Passport Office with the Passport Number and know what they had for breakfast!!

I would think that there's a little more to this than meets the eye

You mean like maybe a fraudulent Passport and hoping that the holder is stupid enough to fall for it?

WORK will begin next week on a new taxi rank at the car park next to Boots/Tesco town centre.

The rank will have around 14 spaces and will stretch along the side of the Boots building and around the corner into the Abbey car park. It will be ready by the time The Mall work begins in May.

Briefing the press on the town centre work on Monday, Kerry County Council Senior Engineer, Eamon Scanlan, detailed where the new ranks would be situated with the works due to take place in The Mall this May.

There will be a nightly rank on Edward Street for about six cars opposite the post office. When work is completed there will also be a nightly rank on The Mall for a limited number of taxis, on the loading bays. The rank at Bridge Lane (near Shaws) remains.

Mr Scanlan said the Council met with the taxi drivers to decide upon the best place to position the ranks.

BRIDGE Street won’t be part of the first phase of the Tralee town centre works due to commence in May and it may be a while before resurfacing takes place there due to lack of funding.

When the plans were initially announced last May, artists impressions of a resurfaced Russell Street and Bridge Street appeared. The Council has planning approval to undertake the works, however they will have to wait until further funding becomes available.

It was also decided to wait until a decision on the use of the Denny Site was made before formulating a plan for a more coherent link between Russell Street/Bridge Street and the town centre.

This was explained by Kerry County Council Senior Engineer, Eamon Scanlan, at a press briefing on the works in the town centre on Monday.

“We have a lot of the work done in advance. We have a far clearer handle on the costings and materials so it should be a lot more straightforward a process. Hopefully we’ll have shown to the town that we can do it in a way that keeps the town open for business and delivers a quality town centre and they would embrace the works when that time comes,” said Mr Scanlan.

The plan for phase one was to have the works stretch from The Mall up to the Dunnes Stores building on Bridge Street, but now funding constraints mean the work will finish at the Carraig Donn corner of the Square instead.

“We wanted to make sure that either entrance from The Mall to the Square had the nice stonework leading into each other,” he said.

Mr Scanlan also explained that The Square would be used in the mornings and a period in the afternoons for deliveries to traders in The Mall while the works are going on.

Smaller vehicles will be allowed in rather than heavy good vehicles. They will come in via Dominick Street and leave via the Carraig Donn entrance/exit.

The works on the Mall are due to begin in early May, after Denny Street becomes a two-way.

I'd say most people who read this Tralee thread also keep an eye on the Tralee Today website so is it necessary to keep posting articles from Tralee Today.
Fair enough if you have an opinion to share on a particular article but why blindly copy and paste?
How about a permanent link to http://traleetoday.ie/ on the boards..

The biggest reason I choose to copy and paste is that I think people find it easier to read an article without ads being in the middle of the article

I think the ads could be better placed on articles on the Tralee Today Website

The ads are really annoying. No harm messaging them to pass on the feedback.

I get that. What we mean is how badly laid out the ads are!
