Sad alright. He was an alcoholic, clearly, who seemed to have a hobo type of lifestyle. Appeared to be quite young.

Sorry, didn't mean to be so nosy. I did a course a few years ago and it wasn't hectic, just wondering what offerings were available these days.

No need to apologise at all

Are you looking to do anything in particular?

Where can I get a couple of A4 sheets laminated in the city centre?

Not as such, just curious.

Do you know any teachers? They always have laminators. If not, Condell Office Centre on Roches St. would probably be able to do it for you.

Same man who I used to see hitching out the Tipp road wearing a hi-viz? He came up in conversation last night. If its the same guy, I only spotted him outside Supermacs on the Ballysimon Rd just after Christmas. A colleague gave him a lift once. He was a gentleman by all accounts. Great for a chat and full of stories. A real "don't judge a book by its cover" type. May he rest in peace.

itslimerick.ie just posted a tribute to the man. Well known and well respected.

Saw a gang of them in town today all dressed like Mrs Doyle lookalikes. Not sure what that was about.

I had the misfortune of having them approach me on the street looking for pub tips. My god they were annoying!

Definitely! It hasn’t changed in years. The supermacs looks like it did when I was out there in 1999 for supermacs 21st birthday celebrations.

There’s one on Friday at 8.30 in Pat Collin’s pub in Adare. Money being raised for Scoil Naomh Iosaf.

The council is building a public car park on the section nearest the Hyde Road.

Fair enough, I'd say something if it was a nice green but it was just a load of grass so fire away.

So the mayor and Bus Éireann got together to see if they could come up with a solution to the lack of usable public transport in the city, and decided to just blame UL instead..

While I think they could do with a bus lane on the campus, they would need one from the campus to the dublin road too.

My thoughts on it are having two or three bus loops, you'd have a Raheen - City Centre (Debenhams) - Raheen, and UL - City Cenre (William St.) - UL bus. The same for the Northside. If you needed to switch over you could show your ticket to say you're going to UL for the William st (UL Service).

I think it would definitely increase the frequency of buses but then again Limerick would probably need more buses

would 100% agree with you here, but i do think its ridiculous that 2 parties come to a meeting to discuss a failure to adequately fulfill their responsibility, and the outcome is to blame a 3rd party!

Some local residents have been protesting about what they regard as the destruction of their amenity but really it's just a large grassy space which is unused even by dog walkers. It is just the uppermost third which is being developed.

No, those are for compostable material such as kitchen waste only. As far as I am aware Mr. Binman no longer collect glass items.
