I saw a clip of that on tv. I didn't hear anything about an assault at the time. Hope it helps find whoever did it.

Don't recollect that at the time. Surely there is enough CCTV all along that route?

Surprised that this didn't seem to generate publicity at the time. Scary to think this happened on the main thoroughfare of the town on the busiest night of the week when you'd think there would have been a fair crowd spilling out of all the pubs/late bars around that time etc (safety in a busy area).

Thats what I was thinking as well,the street should have been busy at that time

The amount of begging in town is on the rise again - there was a fella begging outside John Griffin Butchers at the horan center this morning.

There's been a few guys around this week, they all seem to be part of the same group but spread out around the town. There was also reports of a few sleeping rough in town, so not sure if the same guys.

Ah now this lad was so renowned for wearing them begging he actually got the name "Wellies" from a lot of people. He was our own little character for a while. Maybe one day if he didn't commit such a heinous crime, he could have even risen to Christy Tik Tok levels of fame...

He seemed to be there all day, saw him this morning and he was still there at 4pm

Notice a lost dog poster on a lamppost at the new pedestrian crossing at Costa this evening, looked like a collie in the picture but I didn't look at it too much

Insane! Stupid fool drink driving. A miracle no one was walking by & not hit! Scary to think how this can happen. I walk with my baby a lot, and I see way more bad driving out walking than when I'm in the car! It's crazy!

It wasn't between the hours of 5pm and 5am so the purple flag goers are safe

I noticed today that the bollards they placed between bowling buddies and mr. price were gone. Hopefully it will stay like that. Much prefer to go that way when leaving mr. price.

Does anyone know if the exit from the car park where the cinema used to be is going to be changed when the road becomes 2 way in a few of weeks. That car park is impossible to exit as it is, will be much worse when it's onto a 2 way street.

Not sure actually and yes it can be really hard to get out. Good that the bollards are gone up by bowling buddies!

Watching it on rte now and it doesn't appear to be the same incident. This happened up Monavalley/Shanakill.

Ya,watched the programme as well,

The one thing both incidents have in common is no taxis at the rank

Gives more detail on the Monavalley incident here.  The fact it happened 8 months ago makes it difficult for anyone who might have been in the area to recall, I would think.  As regards taxis, I guess there is only so many taxis in Tralee working those weekend night shifts and everyone is spilling out of the pubs/chippers at the same time so lack of taxis at the time of the incident is fairly common.

Here are details of the road closures in the mall from next week.

There's roadworks with temporary traffic lights at Ballymullen causing absolute carnage the last few days.

Do you know whats going on there?

I hope they are doing away with the stupid right hand turn into the street in front of the Munster Bar/ Ballymullen PO!

Cars wait there for ages waiting to turn in the same time they could continue to the round a bout and get access from the far side.
