Believe it or not they actually do pay for their skips but for some reason they don't use them, they would rather dump their rubbish out on the road, I can't understand why, just their breeding, just look at the rubbish all the way up the road.

I don't know any of "them" personally, nor do I often have reason to go up that way so I'm not familiar with the area but I'm guessing there's children living on that site and basic facilities are the very least they deserve. There's a world of studies been done to show how children have better outcomes as adults the better standard of living they have so the development of better facilities for Travellers can only be a good thing.

I see Lidl have submitted a formal planning application for a new store on the old Chadwicks site in Queen Street.

Hope it gets the go ahead.More jobs for people,more competition,good for the customers.All pluses in my view.

Entrance gate to the course and parking is always closed.But people still pop over the gate to do their thing.

I hadn't thought about it like that but you're right. It will be hard to refuse Lidl on the chadwicks site on traffic grounds when Aldi and Dunnes are a few hundred metres in either direction though.

Such a shame that marketplace is being left to rot but the lack of free parking would probably deter Lidl. Hard to believe there was ever a time that the town centre had 2 supermarkets, Superquinn and Tesco. It's hard to know what will become of it.

Anyone know anything about the area around Ard Aoibhinn? Or have lived there/family or friends lived there? Specifically around no.75? Going to go to a viewing over the coming days and wanted to know before going into it. I know there’s a halting site there alright and there’s been works in upgrading it recently (https://irl.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/178847/1/0), but it doesn’t seem to come near the house or extend their site.

That house (smashing one, saw it on daft) is on the entrance/road into the estate, as such it's facing the road that the travellers go up and down some times. The halting site is further up the road and can look an absolute state but it looks like with the recent works going on there should be some improvement a in that regards.

Have chatted to one or two people who said they don't get any hassle from them really, at worst some kids might be in on their bikes or the likes.

Thanks for the info! Was mostly looking to see if there’s any hassle or not, especially since it’s the first house at the entrance..I’ve noticed too over the last two months there’s about 4-5 houses there listed/sold.

Yup... 10 days previous that case number was 37.

It's because Delta is rife in the community. Hearing of multiple cases now from people around the town, thankfully the majority are vaccinated but not all. Schools opening immanently, workers returning to the work place, Hospitals under increasing pressure to to the rise in cases on wards and ICU etc and NEPHET disbanding in October.. We're not there yet.
